It's a fun article but it would have been outrageously good if say 30 examples of each SSD sourced "randomly" had been tested. OK a bit expensive.
"Over the past 18 months, we've watched modern SSDs easily write far more data than most consumers will ever need."
They tested six SSDs and got "...far more data than most consumers..." - that's the takeaway.
- digikata 10y agoWould you be willing to pay for a subscription to a quarterly report for that info?
- reitanqild 10y agoFor me? Kind of yes. Only I have subscription overload. Every newspaper and their dog wants to sell me subscriptions but I generally don't read newspapers daily. I'd love to have access to this data through some spotify-for-text service or Blendle or something though. I guess I'm not alone in wanting both to pay researchers, bloggers, journalists etc etc, but based on what I read, not based on a monthly subscribtion to every company that I ever want to read something from?
- ptx 10y agoMaybe Flattr [0] is close enough? You set a monthly budget, pick things to support over the course of the month, and at the end of the month those things automatically get their slice of your pre-set budget. [0] https://flattr.com/ https://flattr.com/
- digikata 10y agoI keep my recurring subscriptions to a minimum too, so I understand. But, funding the procurement of statistically significant numbers of multiple models of SSD drives, running them through to end-of-life characterization, and keeping that all updated as new models come out is a higher spending profile than your typical blogger. It seems more like a business research report or recurring lab test type of service.
