I may have spoke too soon on this -- the 720 is a pci-e device...spec
details are just now leaking out (see:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/16/intels-710-lyndonville-and-720-ramsdale-ssds-see-full-spec/).
 512mb onboard dram and "56k" write iops, and probably stupid
expensive.  The 710 is a standard sata device with 2.4k claimed write
iops, using "HET" MLC about which there is zero information available.
