That test was very domain-specific, seeing which SSDs lost data while 
writing during a power loss.  Also a strange combination of SSDs tested. 
Interesting, but not overly relevant to the way most SSDs are used.

Just to add: some Intel SSDs use Sandforce controllers with custom 
firmware.  Maybe not all of them, I have not kept track.
