Keep my fingers crossed on this one. Oh man... I've got a 45GB IBM DeskStar in a system stored out in CA I only used for a short time before my accident. I don't remember the model. Raymond, you're saying your 2 75GXP HDDs were 45GB. Doesn't the 75 in 75GXP refer to the size of the HDD being 75GB? I don't remember the exact model of the DeskStar I bought. I'll have to do a search of my HDD backups and find out. >So, it leaves only two brands, Seagate and Western Digital which I >haven't >used them for years. Heh... Seagate was the first company I bought a HDD from back in '93, and was also both down the street from where I lived in CA as well as the first HDD to fail for me! :-0 Though like you say Lawrence, it usually has more to do with the model than the company. Seagate has been great otherwise.
