I gave two possibilities,
1. Hatchet job i.e. malice with forethought
2. Just a poor effort
I am not necessary favoring option 1. Regarding option 2, to err
is human.
Just admit it, correct it, and then don't repeat it.

1. Vertex with write cache enabled; disabled would have seen a
2X improvement.
2. Error in libata

That is the ticket. I suggest that someone contact Tom's Hardware
http://www.tomshardware.com/
And arrange to work with them to perform an honest benchmark.
Head to head with Ext4 would work for me. :-)

They should either repeat the benchmark and do it right, or print a r
etraction.
BTW, thank you for your reply. I hope that none of the above sounded
too harsh. The article was IMO damaging and needs to be countered.
