I don't think anyone has has said a 710 will replace a 720 in a 598. It will probably run but you may lose some features.

I think DVS does have a newer drive that has the same mounting. that also is a writer that might work just as good as a 710.

I'm kinda waiting to see if 720 over stock shows up one day.
