Been using Crucial since my first rig in 2015 - so far no issues with this brand as far as RAMs are concerned.

Anybody noticed that RAMs are more expensive nowadays?

Lately with this China motherboards that uses notebook style memory, my supplier's recommendation on ADATA and RAMAXEL, quite spot on - no issues so far.

Since we are in this topic, best USB stick for me is Sandisk USB 3.0 Cruzer series, works very well in smOS, nvOC and also not too shabby with running virtual Windows images like Win2Go.

Canaan sent me an email about the new A8 series... so will save funds for that.
