"...but nobody in the business of deploying production Posgresql should ever have been using the various models of desktop SSD that were tested." this is one of the reasons why this article was written. To show you how to test, to see what you should use and what you shouldn't in production. When we did these tests we already knew we shouldn't use those SSDs, we mostly did it just for the sake of testing, to see if the tests we wanted to use make any sense and to show others how to do it. Also I know it may sound funny to use these SSDs in production, but when we started with our game Top Eleven we didn't know that, when you have 5 people working on a game, you don't have time (nor resources) to think about a type of an SSD; you order server with an SSD, you get an SSD (you usually don't even have a choice when you rent) and you use it. This is how it still works with almost any server renting company.
