Hi,
Please consider adding more filter columns to the Hard Drive Mega List, such as one for each of the 4 performance stats (seq. read, seq. write, 32K, 4K random).
That chart is very useful when we shop for a drive because it allows filtering out drive sizes that we don't want to look at (e.g I only want to display 2TB drives). That's great, however, the only other filter there is Disk Mark, which isn't extremely useful because it's a derived score out of the different performance stats, and it doesn't allow filtering and sorting by a particular stat, say, random 4K. For example, for me, since most high end SSDs already have plenty high sequential speeds, I may want to focus more on the random 4K values depending on how i plan to use the drive, while still displaying all the other stats in their own columns for more visibility. This would make the chart a lot more informative for those of us who need more granular data.
Also - and this is a much less important objection - why are these charts still called "hard drive" instead of something more accurate and all-encompassing like "storage drive" since they are full of SSDs now?
Thank you for your consideration!
