Any use A-tech memory before? Seems to be a cheap option. I bought a 32GB DDR4 kit for my work laptop to try it out before I start buying it for other machines. Typically I try to buy Crucial. Been very good so far, but I can't always find a kit I need when I need it.
 
they buy the cheapest ram "without sacrificing quality" from whoever they can get it from and slap their name on it. could be fine...

The ddr4 kit I got was Samsung chips. Who knows who assembled it. I guess we'll see long term if it's good.

That’s kinda how a lot of these budget brands work. They don’t actually make their own chips, they just grab whatever is cheapest at the time, slap their label on, and ship it out. So you might get Hynix/Macron dies in one batch and something completely different the next batch.
As you said, it could be fine but some people just choose to avoid that inconsistency.
 
A-Tech is a good brand. They typically make ECC RAM for servers, so they aim for reliability instead of speed for desktops, but I have seen them start getting into the non-ECC market. I've worked for companies that used A-Tech RAM for their servers, and they've never had any problems with them.
 
These are terrible, put some in a server and it killed the memory slots. Used one of their Synology sticks and it made the unit not boot. avoid!!!!

That's why I like Crucial, same story. You can tell Micron was going for stability first. Really important when you're deploying equipment other people need to use on a daily basis. Like I said, the 32GB kit in my work laptop is now the first of theirs I've ever used. Hearing they used to focus on Servers is actually a really good thing.
