I completely agree. The "trust but verify" approach is very balanced and effective. Absolutely nothing to say! Yet I am able to pinpoint a lot of people in the SMBs that will simply accept the data proposed in the demos (and for many reasons, not because of incompetence). So yes in my world, but being aware this is not always happening.

Well, they can't really even do that... ignoring that SMBs should be buying storage as appliances instead of building it (it's massively cheaper TCO wise and in such a case the SSD choice is up to emc or netapp or whoever anyway) and assuming theyre in the rabbit hole of building out storage themselves, then youll typically be buying servers from dell or hp or whoever and you bet they've done this testing for you and you will have zero choice of the SSDs that come in your big 36 sff 2Us.. If you're in the position to be buying raw drives like this, then you're doing things above the SMB level and wouldn't be burned by this sort of thing... At least... I hope..
