no more Big Blue for me
I've sent back no less than FOUR IBM drives due to failure... 2 were mine and 2 were from a friend of mine's whose computer I built.
And now 2 of the replacement drives have gone bad as well.
I'm on Western Digital now and NO problems whatsoever... no more IBM for me.
Heh, then your first wd dies and you go Seagate (j/k, no problems here w/ wd, but I only own one 80gb se).
I have also never had any issues with IBM, owned a 60GXP never any problems. Now I have a 180GXP still no problems, very fast and quiet. On the other hand, I have had 3 Maxtor Drives fail on me and will never buy Maxtor ever again.
recent article in Maximum PC about IBM getting sued up the wazzoo because they knowingly shipped out drives that had as high as a 17 percent failure rate!!
wonder if it's Hitachi's headache now...
