They just buy whatever is cheapest at the time. (edited)
Also the speed test is misleading as only tests the 150GB of SLC cache, not the entire drive.
If it's just a gaming pc no it doesn't really matter. Amazon will sort you out if it does fail.
If it's critical stuff then get Samsung/crucial/Kingston/WD (edited)

This, u need a student friend but for a little more, a lot faster and from a reputable brand.
If no one ever bought anything from a new company, there would never be a successful new company that had a chance to generate a positive reputation. (edited)
Thanks for the help, I wasn't very successful finding failure rates and testing for these on Google hence the question here.
