'HP-branded SSDs have often been competitive. Buy (sic) what about HP memory?' - Tom's

It is manufactured and sold by Multipointe Channel Solutions under contract (the same company that produces their SSDs).

If they price it competitively (like their SSDs), I could see it being a viable option. However, if they are priced the same (or higher) than their competition, it's going to be a tough sell since it doesn't appear to be anything special, and only comes with a 5 year warranty.

I do like the look of the black heat spreaders though:

Only 5 year warranty? For an SSD, that's an advantage. But since multiple "major" RAM vendors, all offer "lifetime" RAM warranties, it's kind of a downer to only have 5 years.

Yeah, it kind of sucks concerning the warranty. Sadly, it seems like it could be a trend going forward.

Luckily, it's not as bad as OLOy's warranty is (which is basically 3 years):

While OLOy’s product listings claim the modules have a “limited lifetime warranty,” a company spokesperson told us that it provides a brand new product as replacement during the first year, the same but a likely refurbished product as replacement in years two and three and, after that, you can send in your RAM but may have to pay for repairs.

I've seen several posts where defective OLOy modules were themselves using HP labeled memory chips. It doesn't raise my confidence in the HP brand.
