Is Transcend a reliable brand for RAM?

I'm looking to bump up my laptop's RAM to 8GB. A stick of 4 GB Samsung DDR3L costs PHP 100 pesos more than a stick of Transcend RAM (both secondhand). I'm a student so any money saved is great. Is Transcend reliable, or should I just go for the Samsung?

run a memtest before buying them, even the most reputable brand has to fail sometime. and transcend is fine for laptop ram, you don't need anything special for that.

I have never heard of Transcend RAM but I use a lot of their external HDD's and not had any problems. So the RAM is probably about the same quality

bleh, ram is ram at this point, and if anything, testing done by bugetsystems has kinda indicated the "gaming" brands are the least reliable ones.

Isn't this because people overclock those "gaming" brands? Which makes all ram unstable in the end? I mean, I assume less people will try to OC budget ram.

well, puget doesnt really OC anything, and they only base their results in in-house testing, because thats what decides what they sell to customers.

 

i guess it's a matter of the "gaming brands" putting more money towards looks and heatspreaders, than towards staying comfortably within the spec of their ram chips or propper QC.
