PC Components Failure Rates - Dec 2010
-
-
Maxtor has the lowest failure rates? This can't be right.
-
The data regarding HDD vs SSD failure rate is already being discussed here:

Wow, OCZ memories suck big time :D
-
Well Kingston ramz does not fail because nobody OC's it
I wonder if the have taken into consideration total units sold worldwide :shrug:

Data from this source was also limited to products sold through that particular e-retailer sold from 1 October 2009 and April 1, 2010, for returns created before October 2010, after six months to one year of operation. Statistics in this survey are based on a minimum of 100 unit sales, and in some instances as many as 500 unit sales.
-
some or all of these differences may not be statistically significant, or significant to the buyer.
just intuitively you can tell this. does 1% extra problems matter? I'll avoid it if I can, but..
-
wow. a survey based on a hundred sales. not really reliable id say. and that in half a year to a year of operation, i guess id be interesting to see the picture after 2-3 years
-
i have ocz memory, an asrock board and a seasonic psu. whelpppp
-
Can agree OCZ memory sucks..too many bad experiences with their quality control. The Power supply one is really surprising. The first and last (antec and seasonic) seems hard to believe. I think their sample data might be questionable.

Still this is way better than the anecdotical "I've had three xxxx-brand which rocks so they're much better than brand yyyy"-nonsense that some people spout on forums....

Yeah, lol.
Even without this pictures your sytem is still nice. (for how long) :up:

Well, that OCZ is a crappy brand I never questioned. Neither that Gigabyte produce quality MB's. But that Seasonic PSU's is of worse quality than all those others I seriously doubt. Obviously the samples are far to small.

surveys : serious business!!!
-
I think the HDD graph must be backwards. I thought everyone knew that Maxtor hands down made the worst drives.
-
is that rma vs sales % or rma vs total rmas ?
if it's the first it's normal lower selling brand has less rmas than big brands
-

I worked in a computer store as tech for most of last year, and I can vouch for the accuracy of most of these graphs. Especially where OCZ is concerned. Had so, so many problems with it. Hard drive is pretty close, too, although power supplies have me a bit confused. Didn't expect corsair so high up on the graph.

Not sure how much has changed since my experience of seasonic psus but they seem like one of the worst to me!
My: 600W seasonic died in 2 months, second 600W seasonic lasted 1 month, moved on to 700W FSP Epsilons which were seasonic i think, and had 4 die, the longest lasting 4 months. I eventually gave up after the final one exploded 6 inches from my face and got a 1KW Enermax galaxy. After plugging in a modular cable to that it died too :rofl: The next 1kw galxy I got after that has lasted me 4 years with 0 issues as of today :shrug:
If anything these failure rates seem extremely low compared to what I've experienced! The failure rate for crucial ballistix memory that I've had (probably 10+ kits) is around 90%
-
If you're killing all of those power supplies, you're doing something wrong. It's not the supplies.

Perhaps something is wrong with your house's power lines...

I don't know in France but at least here in Spain I only know an e-tailer who sells EVGA stuff. No retailer that I know sells their stuff in any shop here. Perhaps it happens the same in France.
