Any review? i'm wondering why these japanese SS PSU Brand are so cheap...

Owltech SS g-550 = about $55

While the Original SS g-550 = about $75

Does Owltech brands are bad?
 
100% Seasonic made and with the Seasonic label:

So, the Owltech and the original SS are the same? I'm in doubt because the owltech one is way cheaper... Why so?
 


A company can sell a product for whatever price they decide to sell it for. They can even sell it at a loss if they want to (a.k.a. loss-leader) to attract customers.

Owltech, most likely, has a co-branding agreement with Seasonic where they're allowed to print up their own retail boxes adding their company name along side Seasonic's to the external retail packaging. Maybe they're buying directly from Seasonic so that they don't have to pay a middleman/distributor's markup. It doesn't mean that the product inside the box is any different than the original. Do you even see the name Owltech on the PSU itself? It even has the same 5 Year warranty that Seasonic's own G-Series has.

If you don't trust Owltech then don't buy it.
