They only tested frame rates. There was no real difference between PCIe versions and most games ran nearly as well from SATA SSDs.

It would have been nice if they tested load times.

These are big drones that carry 100 pounds of fire retardant. It will be interesting to see how well they work.

You need a real camera if you want real pictures. The optical zoom on a phone camera is only a couple times magnification.
