Andy, Actually it appears that 520 is noticeable faster then 320. You can get an idea comparing http://www.ssdperformanceblog.com/2011/07/intel-320-ssd-read-performance/ http://www.ssdperformanceblog.com/2012/05/testing-intel-ssd-520/ RAID10 is 8 15k SAS with BBU, that is correct.
Comment: Intel 320 SSD random write performance
Just a heads-up.. You might encounter this on your 320GB SSD. It’s the 8MB bug. Intel has acknowledged it. http://www.techpowerup.com/149064/Intel-Acknowledges-SSD-320-Series-8-MB-Bug-.html
Comment: Testing Samsung SSD SATA 256GB 830 - not all SSD created equal
Samsung 830 SSD‘s GC differs from Intel 320 series AFAIK. Intel 320 does active GC while Samsung 830s do idle GC. Have you tested Samsung 830 SSD with over provisioning ? formated at 100GB,120GB, 200GB, and 240GB capacities ?

Interesting that at high concurrency 7 Intel 320 perform pretty much the same as FusionIO. 7 320 cost about $2K. How much does that FuisonIO cost – around $10K? When you RAID-0 7 SSD, did SATA become the bottleneck?
Comment: Intel 320 SSD write performance - contd.
Brad, I did tests > 1 thread for older Intel X25-M, and it does not scale. Best result are with 1 thread for random writes. I may try it for Intel 320 SSD to see how it performs, but I do not have big expectations.
