>>Seems Crucial started same game now, although they either communicated it more open (or market keeps closer tabs):

Perhaps this would be OK if the market was aware that early samples are not representative so early 3rd party tests are meaningless until mainstream versions are available.
I have been quite satisfied with Samsumg ssds- though if they too were to play these games, I am not equipped to detect this myself, especially if the ssd ships with the machine.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
