I agree about Samsung failing even though I got one in my Mac.
Over the years I have had the following Samsung products.
- Samsung Jet mobile (touchscreen failed, got replaced now mobile has failed entirely).
- Samsung Blu Ray drive for PC (could not read disks properly, got it replaced with another of the same model and the exact same problem. Got it replaced a 2nd time but with an LG one and works perfectly! It must have been a faulty batch of Samsung drives).
- Samsung 24" LED computer monitor (2 dead pixels only after 2 weeks!).
These failures have put me off Samsung and I think they are unreliable products (even though everyone thinks they are the best now that they are strong in the TV and mobile (Galaxy S3-4 and Note) space. When I say that they are unreliable people often say I am crazy
.
It's one of those products I have had bad experiences with therefore stay clear of them however the Samsung SSD 840 series I got has been fantastic so far. I took a risk buying my 4th Samsung product but at a price of $189 at the time I could not resist!
If the drive doesn't fail it might make me think a bit more highly of their unreliable products.
