I try and compare and contrast a storage device against all price points. This way it shows EXACTLY what you are paying extra (or less) for.
Thus YOU the reader can decide if the money is well spent or not. IE not everything is just about performance. Value plays a big part in most people's purchasing equation. This is not something anyone else should calculate for you. Sure we will give our opinion, in my case based on decades of experience, but its up to you to take the data - from multiple POVs - and make your own decision. Hard to do that if we just hype the flavor of the day.
Now I will make the exact same offer I always do when a Samsung fan 'calls me out' for not including them. Buy a new Sammy drive of your choice. I will review it, and keep the drive... and you get the review + data you want. I will even give you a thank you in the review. Still have yet to have any takers.
