Hello, Is it just my faulty memory, or were IBM Travelstar drives prone to early failure way-back-when?
I could have -sworn- Travelstars were problem-plagued drives, but can't seem to find anything online to support this. I'm fairly positive that the Deskstar HDs of the time (~turn of the century) were pretty horrendous, but maybe the Travelstars were fairly angst-free and I just have the two somewhat similar names confused in my tiny little mind? Perhaps it was only the early IBM-branded Travelstars that gave trouble, and the reliability improved when Hitachi took over Travelstar production? I'm afraid I'm drawing a blank here... Would someone be kind enough to set me straight?
