Return rates of power supplies
  Posted on 28/03/2008 at 14:08 by Marc

After yesterday’s news item on hard drive return rates, here are those for power supplies given by a major online French retailer. These statistics involve power supplies sold from April to September 2007 or in other words 6 months to 1 year of functioning. Figures by brand are based on a minimum sample of 500 unit sales.

- Enermax : 1.0%
- Corsair : 1.1%
- Akasa : 1.6%
- Cooler Master : 1.6%
- Fortron : 1.6% <-SPI/FSP
- Thermaltake : 2.5%
- Seasonic : 2.6%
- Antec : 2.8%
- Max In Power : 3.4%
- Hiper : 4.8%

Enermax, which was second a little more than a year ago, now arrives in first place. Antec which had a return rate of 9.5% due to a defect on the SmartPower series now ranks better, while Hiper is in last place.

We should point out that one of its most widely sold models, the HPU-4S350, has a breakdown rate slightly higher than 9%! The second least reliable model sold in significant volumes (> 100) still with Hiper is the HPU-4M530 (8.5%) followed by the HPU-4M670 (6.9%).

Luckily I'm using Antec's PSUs for more than 2 years and no problem at all...
