A little harsh, don't you think? I'd say it's still useful to have 5 data points than 0.

  I'd have been gentle if his conclusion had included a measure of humbleness and at least kind of approached being somewhat accurate. :)

    And where was the "terrible science"? Requiring "humbleness" in posts seems to only apply to other people's posts, apparently.

      The conclusion "buy intel" makes no sense. He tested far too few drives to make that conclusion, and many potentially safe alternatives went untested. Not to mention the fact that not all intel drives apparently are safe. So yeah; it's unfortunately bogus science - he's drawing invalid conclusions from a far too small sample.

      Terrible science = small, restricted subject population, from which an ironclad blanket conclusion is made, that covers the entire population. One of the restrictions is price, which makes little sense in concluding so strongly for a measure involving quality. Not to mention that only a single specimen of a single model of each brand was tested. The top-voted comment in the thread points out some Intel models that don't have supercapacitors in them. Already the article is updated with a couple of other drives to test. I guess that wasn't "End of discussion" after all...
