The lies and marketing hype of SSD manufacturers



Hard disk manufacturers NEED you to purchase their new products at the (high) introduction price in order for you to sponsor their R&D departments.

They will quote insane read speeds that are literally useless for 99% of the people they are reaching.


They will quote drives that are specficially designed for gamers or creators, which again is marketing BS.

The imporatant information that 'real' consumers need may be hidden from them in technical data sheets as opposed to front page advertising specs.

Quite simply put, you are being misled by the high sequential 7000MB/s read and 3000MB/s write speeds, where the more important figures that of random read and write numbers (as tested in PC Mark10 Quick Benchmark) or drive longevity need to be read with glasses on.
