Apacer RAM

[Nicolas8050]

What do you think of this brand of RAM and storage? These seem like a steal becuase of low price and high speed.

Are they a good brand? The warranty is 3 years.

For RAM, it's all pretty much the same, or at least mostly all decent. Most of it comes from only a handful of factories. It's actually pretty hard to get bad RAM these days, so you may as well go for it if it's a good price.

You're saying that just go for the fastest and cheapest RAM. I thought I would have to go for the good brands because of how often I hear of fried RAM.

There aren't really any good or bad brands in RAM. Very few of the brands actually have much to do with the creation of the RAM, they mostly put a heatspreader and stickers on it. The process of manufacturing RAM has matured to the point where it's basically impossible to get a bad kit of RAM as long as it's not some completely unknown stuff. DOA RAM is still possible, but a lot of that is just luck rather than anything to do with the brand. 

Apacer has been in the DRAM game for two decades now and it's their primary business focus. They may not be one of the most well known brands in the West, but they're pretty reliable from what I know.

Thank you for the help.
