These do not compare things such as sequential read, sequential write, random read, random write, temperature, MTBF, Backblaze outage percentages (statistical relevant), type of storage (SLC, MLC, AMLC, QLC, TLC, etc), chipset used, and so on, and so forth.

I'm scared shitless to check or use the battprices.com as it probably does not do anything like the above either. Which, in case of batteries, can cause something arguably more severe than bad performance or data loss: fire.

Don't use websites like these. Instead, read reviews and support websites which release quality reviews.



Dude, they’re just simple lists of products by their base metric, in both cases limited to reputable brands.

No fires will ensue just because you now know Duracell offering X is slightly cheaper than Energizer type Y per kWh even though the pack costs more.

Breathe!


Didn't know, the website name suggested otherwise. Rest of the points still stand.
