When buying computer hardware, many people will definitely hope not to step on the wrong side and buy a brand with a high failure rate. Recently, a foreign retail store published their data on the YouTube channel for the past four years to roughly understand the failure rate of major computer hardware brands. However, this is only a small store and cannot be compared with PChome, Amazon, Newegg and other companies. The sample number is very small, so it can only be used as a reference at most. But what is encouraging is that stores and brands have cooperative relationships, and almost no stores will make such reports that may offend the brands.
Foreign stores publish failure rate tracking reports of well-known computer hardware brands over the past 4 years
Foreign store Hardware Sugar recently announced on their YouTube channel a tracking report on the failure rate of computer hardware they have sold over the past 4 years. I don’t know if this store sells relatively few brands, or it only integrates well-known global brands. There are only two GPU graphics cards, MSI and GIGABYTE. MSI sold a total of 129 units, and GIGABYTE sold more, 141 units. However, the failure rate of the former was only 1.5%, which was only 1.5% in 4 years. 2 were returned, and the GIGABYTE graphics card failure rate is 5%:
There are also only MSI and GIGABYTE motherboards. The best-selling motherboard is GIGABYTE, with a total of 388 units sold, more than 2 times that of MSI, and only 2 motherboards have problems, which means the failure rate is only 1.5%. Although MSI only sold 129 copies, the failure rate is also only 1.5%:
There are many power supply brands, including CORSAIR, DEEPCOOL, COOLER MASTER and SEASONIC. SEASONIC is the best-selling brand among them all. It has sold 664 units in 4 years. After selling so many units, only 12 units have problems, and the failure rate is only 1.8%, which is quite good. The failure rate of COOLER MASTER is 2%, CORSAIR is 1.5%, and DEEPCOOL has 0 failures, but only 46 units have been sold in such a long time. The number of samples is too low, and I think it has no reference value at all:
There are three brands of water-cooled AIO, namely NZXT, CORSAIR and DEEPCOOL. All products currently sold by CORSAIR and DEEPCOOL have no problems, with a failure rate of 0%. NZXT is much higher, reaching 4%.
There are only two brands of RAM memory, G.SKILL and TEAMGROUP. The failure rates of both are very low, less than 1%, especially G.SKILL. 601 units were sold in 4 years, and only 4 had problems:
Storage hardware brands include SAMSUNG and TEAMGROUP. The two brands have sold around 250 units in four years. SAMSUNG has a failure rate of 0%, and TEAMGROUP has a failure rate of 1.2%. Three units have problems. Generally speaking, as long as it is a well-known brand, the failure rate is basically very low, and many now have a warranty of more than 5 years, or even provide lifetime warranty.
