Ok, but then what happens when you have broken files? I've been doing this for far more years than you've been alive and I choose to not use SSDs with windows at this point -- does that meet with your approval?
As for testing and research methods, I'm also well versed in those and since audio is basically a subjective experience, much of the objective testing you suggest tells an experienced audio person very little. And FYI, all my testing is blind :-).
You seem very certain in your knowledge so that's fine -- ignorance is bliss.
Enjoy the soundd of your cooling fans and I'll not be engaging you on this or any other topic from here on out.
Toodlooski,
