    Re: New RMA Rates

    I had never heard of them until just now lol

    I looked them up though. Newegg doesn't even carry them except through a marketplace seller. They appear to be an OEM-type supplier (like SK-Hynix) with the majority of their sales through venders, like you're saying, and appear to only carry the very most basic design and speeds. Since they're rarely sold retail, there's no RMA data for them.

    Comparing the price of EDGE to G.Skill from newegg marketplace, cdw, amazon, provantage, etc., it seems EDGE costs about 50% more for the exact same thing, with worse latency.

    None of them are really all that bad. The worst of them is a 3TB Toshiba DT01ACA300 at 3.75%. The best are:

    - 0.00% WD Black WD2002FAEX 2TB
    - 0.00% Seagate NAS HDD ST2000VN000 2TB
    - 0.00% WD Red WD40EFRX 4TB

    Full list:
    2TB:

    - 2.64% WD Green WD20EARX
    - 2.15% Toshiba DT01ACA200
    - 1.46% WD Green WD20EZRX
    - 1.05% WD Red WD20EFRX
    - 0.97% Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST2000DM001
    - 0.95% WD AV-GP WD2EURS
    - 0.85% WD RE WD2000FYYZ
    - 0.72% Seagate Enterprise Value ST2000NC001
    - 0.49% Seagate Surveillance ST2000VX000
    - 0.00% WD Black WD2002FAEX
    - 0.00% Seagate NAS HDD ST2000VN000

    3TB:

    - 3.75% Toshiba DT01ACA300
    - 1.53% WD Green WD30EZRX
    - 1.51% Seagate NAS HDD ST3000VN000
    - 1.44% WD Red WD30EFRX
    - 1.36% Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001

    4TB:

    - 3.08% WD RE WD4000FYYZ
    - 2.54% Black WD4001FAEX WD
    - 1.44% Seagate NAS HDD ST4000VN000
    - 0.66% Seagate Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000
    - 0.26% Hitachi Deskstar 7K4000 H3IK40003272SE
    - 0.00% WD Red WD40EFRX

    I don't really like to say which is worst based on these percentages since a large amount of HDD RMA's would be due to shipping. HDDs are fragile and sometimes delivery services toss it around anyway. And sometimes whoever you bought it from packaged it cheaply (Newegg used to be notorious for failing to package HDDs properly and ended up having to accept *alot* of RMAs because of it).

    Thanks again JPM. Minor differences percentage-wise, but still enough to help me shy away from some makes/models regardless.

    Thanks JPM! I guess EVGA is stingy with their data? I've been buying their PSUs and GPUs... no trouble yet!
