snip Anyway, the 75GXP might have a greater failure rate than other drives. My point is simply that it had a huge number of sales and so one can't rely on the number of anecdotal reports of failure to determine the rate of failure. ----- Excellent point. I am one of the folks who experienced the failure. 45 gb 75-GXP, which was replaced under warranty by IBM with minimal fuss with a newer, larger 60 gb, 60-GXP. I was very pleased with the quietness and performance of the old drive and have been very satisfied with the replacement, which still chugs along. Dispite the total run time limit imposed on the new model, I don't concern myself with this. S900 boots up automatically at 7:30 am every day and is shut down late in the evening. Many of the external firewire drives came with the 60-gxp, such as my EZQuest. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
