Bias

90%

Examples:

  • The author also makes a statement about all other PCIe 5.0 SSDs not being capable of performing well in synthetic benchmarks which is misleading.

Conflicts of Interest

70%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that the retail box for the 1TB version costs $399.99 without heatsink and $478.88 with it, which may be seen as promoting a product.
  • The author has a financial interest in the Crucial T705 SSD as it was provided for review.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • The article contradicts itself by stating that Windows transfers are only average but does not provide any context or comparison with other drives to support this claim.
  • The author claims that the Crucial T705 clocked the competition with its awe-inspiring benchmark numbers, however this statement is misleading as it implies all other PCIe 5.0 SSDs are not capable of performing well in synthetic benchmarks which is not true.
