Performance vs. Transfer Size
ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. ATTO illustrates the poor-ish read performance of the SSD 730 quite well. The SSD 730 is the slowest drive in this comparison and doesn't match the other drives until an IO size of 1024KB. Write performance on the other hand is average, although it should be noted that at the smallest IO sizes the drive is very slow for some reason. I'm guessing this is just a matter of optimization as enterprise workloads don't usually go to IO sizes smaller than 4KB.

The tacky gamer bling is intended to convince corporate purchasing to buy the more expensive S3500 instead.littlebitstrouds - Thursday, February 27, 2014 - link
Well aren't you mean today. Just because it doesn't fit your style, doesn't mean you need to be a jerk about it.Homeles - Friday, February 28, 2014 - link

This hard drive is poisonous.tabascosauz - Saturday, March 1, 2014 - link
It's probably like the skull on Intel's motherboards; just a logo that's been there for so long that it's become an icon of Intel in the consumer market. I still like the old peel-up-for-silicon Intel design on my SSD 530 though, but not that it matters since there's only one case that showcases SSDs (H440).Anonymous Blowhard - Friday, February 28, 2014 - link
sarchasm (sar-kaz-im)1. the gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it

I intended describing it as 'tacky gamer bling' as being charitable. If I felt like being mean I'd've used something like 'eye searingly hideous' instead.Oxford Guy - Thursday, March 6, 2014 - link
It's really idiotic.Intel looks like a foolish old man trying to be cool with that.
