How to read these scores
Each drive gets up to three ratings out of 100: speed (the maker's maximum sequential read), warranty term, and value (speed against price per GB). A buyer profile weights them. Tiers: S 90+, A 80–89, B 70–79, C 60–69, D below 60. Where a maker page does not state the warranty, we leave that row out and re-spread the weights; we never guess. Speeds are the maker's "up to" figures for the model line; smaller capacities are often slower. Read the full method.
