1308340 2012-10-23 12:14:00 Was just wondering what people think about adata as a brand. Slankydudl (16687)
1308341 2012-10-23 19:14:00 They're one of the best of the 'budget' brands, to be honest. For something where price is one of the top concerns, and that isn't mission-critical, I would certainly consider them. Performance is not their strong suit as a brand overall (some specific products are pretty good - most are decidedly mediocre, without being bad). inphinity (7274)
1308342 2012-10-23 20:02:00 We sell Adata
the USB HD's are good. Weve sold quite a few with no failures. The attached cable is sometimes too short on the portable USB drive though.

The Adata RAM is the worst Ive seen. Just too many failures. Even had warranty replacements that were DOA: allways a bad sign
I wont buy/sell Adata RAM any more, Kingston is at a good price now.

1308343 2012-10-23 21:50:00 ^ Yep, I've come across a fair few RAM failures too.
My Adata CF card crapped out after 18 months, wasn't used that much either. Replaced it with a Kingston, still going strong (touch wood).

1308344 2012-10-23 22:16:00 Have to agree with inphinity, I think they are one of the best budget brands. Cant say I've had to many RAM issues over the years like a few have mentioned though. The latest APC Mag gives their SSD's a pretty solid review. Iantech (16386)
1308345 2012-10-23 22:35:00 I also like Adata for an entry level brand but we've never had any issues with their RAM.
Sold heaps of it too.
