Yes, and most of these SSDs come from China, it is quite cheap with a 3-year warranty policy.
#first. It’s an OEM product
OEM stands for the phrase Original Equipment USAanufacturing (translated to mean: original equipment manufacturing)
As we all know, the technology companies that manufacture or design common computer components today all have brands and experience.
They are reputable companies, which comes with the cost of human resources, research and development, and infrastructure…. It is clear that to operate such an apparatus is not simple, very expensive.
Therefore, products from these brands are often quite expensive. Because in addition to the cost of production materials, they also add to it the cost of human resources, research, sales or advertising … more.
As for OEM manufacturers, there is no need to do so, OEM manufacturers themselves do not shape or develop their own product brands.
They themselves are experienced in manufacturing but do not participate much in the product business, but only specialize in outsourcing.
With that feature (only processing and working in large quantities), these manufacturers know how to maximize production costs => the products they make always have lower prices is understandable.
Not only that, because there is no need to build a brand, the costs of advertising, marketing, business … are almost no need to spend.
Even research costs are not too much because they just need to apply previous studies that have been outsourced to big firms.
It is for these reasons that OEM SSDs are always cheaper than SSDs of major brands in the world.
#2. OEM SSD hard drive quality?
Theoretically, OEM manufacturers can process large quantities for well-known brands, meaning that in terms of technology, process, their ability to work has been proven.
Therefore, the products they make, although not famous, still ensure the most basic specifications and functions that a common SSD needs to have.
However, that does not mean that OEM SSDs are always comparable in quality to branded SSDs.
In fact, each SSD manufacturer before placing orders with OEM factories has their own standards for their products.
They have their own optimal designs and of course they are all proprietary and must be followed by factories.
These OEM factories themselves cannot take proprietary designs or exclusive standards to use for their products, because doing so is against the law, infringing copyright.
This is what makes the difference in the quality of OEM-manufactured SSDs and big brands’ SSDs.
#3. Should I buy an OEM-made SSD?
For the vast majority of ordinary users, SSD hard drives help speed up access to applications, install software, etc. they also don’t need high-end features, nor do they need too high speed to do anything.
Because surfing the web, watching movies or playing popular games, there is almost no need for them. And the truth is that if you just do the above light things, whether it’s an OEM SSD or a branded SSD, there’s not too much of a difference.
But as I said above, due to differences in design and standards, it is possible that the durability of SSDs due to OEMs is not uniform and so is the performance.
Therefore, when buying these products, you have to bear a little risk in terms of performance, as well as product quality after a period of use.
And if you are someone who often does heavy work on the computer, such as playing heavy games, making graphics, video reder… then it’s best to buy yourself a genuine SSD for peace of mind.
In short, it’s all money, money goes with quality
#4. Epilogue
OEM’s SSD is still an interesting choice if your budget is small and your computer use is only common, light office work (Word, Excel, Photoshop. .)
