| 1371278 | 2014-03-25 20:11:00 | If you have experience of these two brands, which would you recommend? (these are my only options as the dealer only has these two currently in stock) The Adata is $10 cheaper, but that won't affect my choice. Adata or Crucial? |

Cant comment on Crucial, but also consider Kingston . My Work sells a bit of RAM (not big quantities though) Over the last 3 years , Ive had more faulty Adata ram than any other brand. Will never buy again In fact so bad, Ive had warranty replacement Adata that was also faulty , straight out of the bag. The ram in my home PC : one of the Adata sticks failed on that as well (intermittent) I would say that in recent years Ive seen more faulty Adata RAM than all other brands combined. It doesnt all fail of course :-) Strangely, the Adata usb sticks are good . The Adata USB external HD's : some of the new models have a design fault where the usb3 cable wont clip in securely & just falls out. So wont be buying those again either, a pity as weve been selling them for the last 3 years, generally were quite reliable. |

| 1371280 | 2014-03-25 21:40:00 | Cant comment on Crucial, but also consider KingstonAs mentioned, my dealer only has the two brands available in the type I need, and I want the sticks asap. Yeah Kingston would've been my first choice, but circumstances make it not an option. Thanks for your input. |

| 1371281 | 2014-03-25 21:54:00 | Just thought I'd add... you folks who work on computers, rather than us who work with computers will have a much better insight into the pro's and cons of memory modules. In my +/- 25 years of computing I've only ever had one bad stick - a DSE / generic stick which didn't work at all. DSE, despite some petty reluctance from the then manager of the branch, replaced it with a working module. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1371282 | 2014-03-25 22:03:00 | If forced at gunpoint to choose between the two, Crucial. In any real-world circumstance, by choice would be "Go elsewhere that sells Corsair, G.Skill or Kingston RAM". | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1371283 | 2014-03-25 22:55:00 | Crucial out of those. I usually go for Kingston, then Corsair. |
