We’ve taken both memory and storage to the next level on Framework Laptop 16. As always, we want to empower you to choose what you want your computer to be, from minimal, functional configurations all the way to extreme overkill!
Next article in the framework 16 deep dive posts is out
Used to when I was in hardware service and sales, but that was back in 2008-9. We mostly dealt with their flash media at the time such as SD cards. The running joke was, customer asks why are the ADATA cards so cheap, someone answers - there’s 50/50 chance it’ll lose your data. That arose from really high return rates. They’d just die on people randomly. It wasn’t a single batch issue either. They’re probably different today. RAM is hard to screw up too. Just don’t scrape the bottom of the barrel for chips. Yes I know OCZ managed to screw RAM spectacularly, but in this case it sounds like Framework will choose the chips. They’ve mentioned they’ll be using SK Hynix.
I’m not ecstatic about them using ADATA but I hope QC and good chip selection could eliminate any significant issues.
Does ADATA have bad rep?
