Yeah, even though they were from completely different factories and countries it's possible that at a later stage in the distribution process (or even at the retailer) they were mishandled.
In terms of parts they're all brand name - plenty of cooling, plenty of power supply capacity. I replaced my power supply recently "just in case"
The latest reco drive that was couriered to me from Singapore has stripped thread holes, vibrates and makes a noise like an old high speed CD-ROM drive, and was throwing up S.M.A.R.T. errors within an hour. That was when it was time to put in an official complaint.
