ASUS officially reveals its ROG Strix SQ7 SSD Specifications

- Start date
Will be interesting to see how long it last's, I know it's basically made by another company but Asus and "Long Life" do not go well in the same sentence from my experience.
I still only have 1 Asus product that is working and that is a old P8P67 Pro motherboard with a 2700k in it, everything I have that is newer than that has died most often within a month or two of the warranty running out.

Seriously, COULD be the quality of the electricity in your home/office.

He'd have multiple other issues showing if that were the case

I don't know if ASUS products are statistically more likely to break than any other company. Everyone has at least one horror story out there. Countless people say things like, 'I'd never buy an ASUS motherboard ever again.' Or, 'I wouldn't touch a Gigabyte GPU with a 10 foot barge poll.' Eventually you'd run out of companies if you listened to all the horror stories. It's more likely coincidental that you've had poor products from one specific or multiple companies. Maybe ASUS have lower tolerances, but I've never seen a study or statistic showing that; just random anecdotes that we all have for every company.

For one, I've only ran ASUS ROG Strix motherboards, both ITX and ATX ones. Once got an MSI mATX motherboard, but that was just weird all togheter, mostly due to being so familiar with ASUS BIOS etc.
Also only used ASUS Strix GPUs, just only recently with my 3080 I went with their TUF model instead. Haven't experienced many issues with neither of their products.

Exactly. For every person saying they'd never touch an ASUS product because they don't last, there's someone who's been happy with all their ASUS purchases.

It's the same with basically everything out there, from PC components, to cars, to phones, to headsets etc, you name it. Everyone is going to end up with a worse experience at some point, at worst a faulty product, while others won't experience a thing. That's just life, doesn't mean it's a bad product just becuase you were unfortunate enough to end up with a bad experience/faulty product.

Only Asus products I've ever had very bad luck with are their ROG monitors, The first ROG Swift from 2014, 144Hz 2560x1440P G-Sync, Was a total nightmare, I went through 6 or 7 of them over the course of a month, Everything from loud buzzing sounds, The screen dying, Half the screen dying, Masses of dead/stuck pixels etc...

Monitors back then were terrible. The technology wasn't ready for mass production in my opinion. They had far too many flaws. I understand they wanted to create a new level of class by pricing them accessibly (as in, not £2000), but the quality was dire. I could have jumped aboard that train at the time, and I wanted to, but I knew it would be a headache. I now have a monitor like that and am very happy because it was affordable and not riddled with problems.

While being true, newer stuff isn’t always better either… Again, you could’ve just been lucky with your sample and Dice unlucky with his. Although those ROG monitors back then were known to have major issues.
I personally always felt like ASUS ROG was simply trying to push the limits, but didn’t care so much for the quality at the same time.

I know what you mean, but it's not just my experience. Considering how many more 1440p/144Hz+/VA/IPS monitors there are now, you'd imagine there would be more widespread dissatisfaction, but that's not what I've been seeing. Maybe you've heard differently though. I'm not as avid on forums these days.

No no, fair point you’re making. Like you, I’m not as avid these days on forums as I’ve used to be as well. I was just speaking in general terms, as to what it has been seen to me, even though extremely limited and could be all wrong though
It's not the electric in the house because I have no issues with any other devices 9or manufacturers.
Unfortunately it is just Asus products every one of them that I have had, has shown major issues just after the warranty expires and some so bad that they don't even make it past 1 day of ownership, apart from this 1 motherboard which is still going strong with all USB, Sata, all PCI-E etc working and to top it off still overclocks the nuts out of the 2700k that is in it.
One of the old LGA1366 motherboards I had 6 of them in the space of a week (rampage III extreme I think) until I just gave up with Asus for that socket and went with Gigabyte which was a whole other issue.
It's annoying because some of the Asus products I like the look of but I just don't want to take that risk again.
