Yeah -- you might be right -- their numbers are based on iometer which
looks like it runs lower than other tests (see here:
http://www.storagereview.com/intel_ssd_710_series_review_200gb).   I
still find it interesting the 320 is spec'd so much higher though.   I
guess I spoke to soon -- it looks it has to do with the life extending
attributes of the drive.  Benchmarks are all over the place though.
