I have working in the electronic salvage, and having my hard drives and [current] GPU from salvage has enabled innate trust with certain brands, and rightfully.
My most trusted HDD brand: Seagate, my 250GB 7200RPM low-mass storage drive was manufactured in July of 2007 and has NEVER suffered any kind of error. Either I'm lucky or their stuff is well made.
Most trusted monitor brand: ASUS - My ASUS VS228 is from salvage, perfectly functioning monitor and never experienced an issue. If offers multiple automatic viewing modes like "gaming", "scenery" and "night" to allow for better viewing experiences depending on what your doing.
Most trusted laptop brand: Acer - My Acer V3-571-6636 is an Intel Core i5 machine and was found to have had a bad hard drive when I got it. A simple replacement and that was easy. It's been ~a year since I got and the only problems I have suffered were overheating issues caused by dust that have long been solved, also easily. It's the easy experience that earns it this place.
Most trusted RAM from salvage: GSkill - 4GB worth of red DDR2 sticks in the system mentioned next, I now use 16GB of their DDR3 Ripjaws series.
Most Trusted Motherboard: GIGABYTE - When I first started desktop gaming with the find of a desktop with my first 1GB GPU, it was a GIGABYTE AMD board with an Intel Core2Duo E8400. It was also my first OC experience, cranking the chip to 3.5GHz up from 3.
GPU?: PNY - Simply put, PNY manufactured my old GTX 9800GT which ran like a dream. Used it for 6 months or so after originally finding it and pulled some decent overclock performance.
Why do I trust these brands? Because they have worked for me, and done so well.
How has your experiences been with electronics? Which companies do you trust? Let me know down below!
