To avoid: Kingston To get: Samsung In the middle: Adata Quality usually drops the longer it's on market. What they do is, they make it in Korea or Japan at first, then they make it in Taiwan, and finally in China. After initial batch, they already recouped the cost, and it's pure profit after that. I bought my 32GB Adata (100MB/s read, 50MB/s write) early when the review was good. They actually published the speed. It's still performing per specs after all these years. Few years after, I bought another one (same model), and it died and had to return. On 2026-07-03 14:56, Karen Lewellen via Talk wrote:
Hi all, or ones to avoid? When asking this on the Debian list some hinted that size is not always correct in terms of capacity. Thanks,
