It's critically important to "burn in" any component.
The initial burn in period will just exceed the length of time during which you would have been allowed to return the component.
The remainder of the burn in period will just exceed the length of the manufacturers warrantee.
No conclusions should be drawn regarding the performance or reliability of any component until fully "burned in".
Shorter return periods, warrantees and/or egregious restocking fees will all shorten the length of time it takes to burn in a component.
