If this would be better suited for another section please feel free to move it.
I found this article interesting as it has the return rates for a wide variety of components and some of the results are quite surprising. The results are taken from a major French online retailer and while it is likely all returns aren't actual failures this should affect all brands equally.
Components returns rates (5) (page 1: Introduction) - BeHardware
Some things that surprised me/ I found interesting
-MSI had the lowest return rate of the major mobo manufacturers
-Corsair had a higher return rate on power supplies than I would have expected although it was still quite low.
-XFX did poorly on graphics card returns
-Intel had the lowest return rate of all storage manufacturers both mechanical and SSD by a substantial margin
-OCZ had the highest return rate of all storage manufacturers, 7 of the 8 SSDs with a return rate over 5% are made by OCZ and all 8 are Sandforce powered.
