And yes, lots of surprises, no ASRock, but ASUS, Seasonic, OCZ, which shows that big brands also have their series problems.

At the HDD level, Hitachi at 2 TB is a disaster (2 2TB HDDs dead in 3 months for me).

it's actually not very clear, you'd think that anything not on the list is at the bottom of the list, so safe. Whereas it's not certain that everything (really everything) is listed.

I don't see my graphics card for example, a lot of brands are missing.

Still, we can at least take away that some things are to be avoided ^^'

It's explicit enough to show that out of 100 graphics cards sold by a given manufacturer, 10 will come back for repair.

For Hitachi 2 TB hard drives, 2 in 3 months, the guy doesn't even argue at the repair desk.

When you see Seasonic on the list, you feel crazy, and yet...

Graphics cards or SSDs with 1 or 2% returns, that's average, but when it hits 10%, that's appalling.

Anyway I'm quite happy to have this info because it can be useful.
