This is serious
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![]()
Well Kingston ramz does not fail because nobody OC's it
I wonder if the have taken into consideration total units sold worldwide![]()
lots and lots of cores and lots and lots of tuners,HTPC's boards,cases,HDD's,vga's,DDR1&2&3 etc etc all powered by Corsair PSU's
ThinQ:
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
Tell it it's a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: and threaten it with replacement
D_A on an UPS and life
i have ocz memory, an asrock board and a seasonic psu. whelpppp
Ryzen 9 3900X w/ NH-U14s on MSI X570 Unify
32 GB Patriot Viper Steel 3733 CL14 (1.51v)
RX 5700 XT w/ 2x 120mm fan mod (2 GHz)
Tons of NVMe & SATA SSDs
LG 27GL850 + Asus MG279Q
Meshify C white
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.

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.

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
Where's EVGA?

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 tooThe next 1kw galxy I got after that has lasted me 4 years with 0 issues as of today
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.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
