That is why when conducting a review and not just a blog post , you should have a protocol - what were you testing, how, why.
After all - see how detailed the testing methodology for some hardware sites is. For a world class media like the times it is inexcusable. So it is very sloppy to have times making reviews of expensive products that are worse than these of 300$ video card.
I pushed the car to the limits is a viable test, just notice it.

An excellent point. It's also probably worth mentioning that for this kind of review, a single data point/drive is more of an anecdote than a test. At the very least they should do a "round trip" there and back test.
