> The more important takeaway

That's exactly the issue - you can't have a takeaway if you don't have a reasonable sample size. Are these drives all in the top 5% of quality for their respective brands? We'll never know unless we do a larger study.

The odds of all six drives being in the top 5% by chance is one in 64 million. So I think we can at least rule out that extreme with decent confidence.
