Et tu, Samsung? Electronics giant accused of quietly switching SSD components

There is more to a product's capabilities than what its manufacturer advertises. If you read reviews and see benchmarks, you expect it to hit ALL those benchmarks, not the limited set the manufacturer advertises. If you buy one and it performs at a certain level for your application / usage model, you expect to be able to buy another one and hit the exact same level of performance.

If vendor X is selling a smartphone and advertise it as having x megapixels and a screen of a certain size and so forth, you would be unhappy if they changed the lens for the camera to one that was lower quality or changed the display to one that had a big issue with reflectivity in sunlight, even if it otherwise met all the manufacturer specs on their web site.

This "it hits all the specs" sounds like a Samsung apologist trying to claim what they did was somehow not as bad as the other SSD vendors.
