In the introduction of my SilverStone Strider Gold S ST75F-GS V2.0 750W article last week, I have briefly touched on the fallacies of the Western mainstream media and academic culture of "self-hate" to demonstrate a perceived sense of humility -- or what, in my opinion, is really false humility. Although this seems to be in stark contrast with authoritarian regimes of ruthless self-adoration, certain forms of false humility is also arrogance at heart. For example, if someone comes up to you and says, "A lot of people think the Earth is round, but we cannot be absolutely sure, because who are we to make such an absolute claim?", although they sound ostensibly humble, the person is actually being really arrogant, because they are explicitly declining what is true and factual. As such, I would like to make an assertion it is not arrogant to make an absolute claim if it is the truth, because all truth is, in fact, exclusive. Therefore, we should not be afraid to say we are right when we are indeed right. On Crucial's website, they make some pretty bold claims about the BX100 on their product page. The company says the solid state drive is "over 15x faster", "over 2x more reliable", and "nearly 2x more energy efficient" compared to a typical hard drive. Of course, by making such a claim means one of two things. The first is the claims are false, therefore they deserve to be criticized for not presenting the truth. The second is the claims are true, and if this is the case, then it is of great relevance to us -- especially considering the BX100 500GB we are reviewing today retails for only $190 at press time. Yes, you have read that correctly. A 500GB SSD for $190. To see whether or not these claims can be substantiated, here at APH Networks, we set out to find the answers.
