Firefox is faster than Chrome with their synthetic benchmarks.

It mentions that dealing with hard disks is hard (which I believe, since they are flaky hardware). But dropbox didn't say "we won't be supporting this kind of hard disk/hard disk controller", but "we won't be supporting these filesystems". Where's the proof that those filesystems have problems that ext4 doesn't have?
But then you read the article and it goes to explain how dealing with files is hard and sometimes data corruption and loss occurs (fair enough), but nothing filesystem specific that could explain why ext4 is superior (or special) and had to be chosen.
So it reads kind of like an excuse for Dropbox, only that it isn't.
Anybody without a technical background could read this and think that MongoDB is some kind of Apple accounts generator software.
