Like what?
They're coming as at CES Phison announced their new controller but probably not until next year. Honestly I'm ok for now as I typically hold on to my drives for a few years. I'll only consider an upgrade if 2TB+ models are cheap. My server needs bigger/newer cache drives as it is.
With all the techtubers running Hero/Formula/Extreme I'd say if there was a problem we'd hear about it from them first. Not that I care too much what they say, just that they'd be the first to whine about it. I wouldn't cop out your upgrade over some randos.
I'll admit that I have had issues with ASRock on warranty, they basically ignored my request for an RMA on a 320 board when it was only 2 months old.... but I made another attempt on this same board with only 3 months warranty left and they sent me another board. I still do not know if this board works because I do not have a cpu to check it out with today.
I started with ASRock because of their rock solid boards and high end features for a cheap cost 10 years ago. My problem lately is their price has creeped up to Asus ROG prices while taking away features I've been utilizing since 2016 like 10Gb built into their enthusiast boards. I've also been recommending their lower end boards for how good they are at a cheap cost but lately their Pro 4 boards have been dropping the ball with really weak VRM. Then a couple weeks ago they made posts about moving forward with NFTs and I just can't support that. They got a lot of social media backlash from casuals and diehards like myself over it. Idk why they dropped Aquantia in favor of Killer and shitty Realtek NICs but their announced Aqua has the latest Marvell chipset at a whopping 1200 when I can just get the Asus Formula with the same thing for a still eye watering 800. I also hated the fact that ALL of their X570 boards had seriously terrible Type-C external connector placement preventing the use of either the top PCI-E slot or the feature with a GPU in that slot. The little things add up. Considering I want to move to Intel for my next upgrade it'll either be an Asus Z690 or wait to see what ASRock does feature wise for Z790 and Raptor Lake later this year (it's just a refresh but components like NICs, USB etc are AIB specific).
