If your system locks up like crazy all the time, or your system stops booting after a day, or you notice some other bad stuff, you should report it in your article. (It's great that you noted the noise issue, although why didn't you put that under cons? Wouldn't it disturb you if you bought one of these?)

There aren't any comparisons to other SSD's, and you didn't score the response time. This isn’t a very good SSD article.

But as I said, I could easily be wrong on that. I could very well be wrong on this, but I was under the impression that you would see most small read/writes come from OS tasks.
