I thought Samsung or Crucial would lead the charts, but sadly it's the makers of bottom of the barrel drives that are there.

Kingston is know for bait and switch practices with their products, mostly SSDs and RAM. Some of their SSD models are decent but they make mostly garbage. The same goes for ADATA, they have like 500 different models and maybe a couple are decent ones.

Yeah, I wouldn’t buy either of them. It’s because they’re cheap and that’s it. Sort of like the Yugo craze.

Weird, I'm not that up to date when it comes to SSD, almost clueless in fact.

But everytime I ask someone who knows a thing or two about recent PC parts they always told me to avoid both Kingston and ADATA "like the plague".

In the lead, by some weird industry only ranking that no one else knows about.

Both of those are on my DoNotBuyEver list.

I seem to see adata & crucial drives die more than others. Counter arguement, if they cheap you just buy another... answer to that is, how much is your data worth to you?
