Neither allow filtering for CMR (vs SMR) or TLC (vs QLC).

Neither have a column for Endurance (TBW), or power consumption (load watt, idle watt, RPM...).

Both list disks not actually available for purchase (fake prices).

Very limited usefulness.

This is because brands are not 100% transparent on this, they could change how they assemble a specific model based on availability.

Amazon doesn't expose this data
