That sounds about the same performance as the 320 drive I tested earlier
this year then. You might try duplicating some of the benchmarks I ran
on that:

Make sure to reference the capacity of the drive though. The 320 units
do scale their performance based on that, presumably there's some of
that with the 710s as well.
I just released a new benchmarking wrapper to measure seek performance
of drives and graph the result, and that's giving me interesting results
when comparing the 320 vs. traditional disk arrays. I've attached a
teaser output from it on a few different drive setups I've tested
recently. (The 320 test there was seeking against a smaller data set
than the regular arrays, but its performance doesn't degrade much based
on that anyway)
The program is at https://github.com/gregs1104/seek-scaling but it's
still quite rough to use.
