Value weighs the score against the price, compared with other 2TB hard drives: this drive costs €91.11/TB against a typical €95.34/TB. At a typical price, value equals the score. Cheaper raises it and dearer lowers it, but price counts for less than quality.

A factor we hold no value for scores zero rather than being skipped, so a drive we know little about never outranks a fully documented one. A low score with low confidence means undocumented, not bad. This is a specification index, not a benchmark, and it only compares hard drives with each other.
