What is with IBM inability to make HD's i've heard so many stories
about IBM drive failure its not funny.
So little recommendation... Stay away from Hitachi IBM drives :)
Personally I've had no problems with them.
IBM/Hitachi make a lot of drives, they had a bad run of Deskstar
drives, but that's what happens when you manufacture a lot of things
and there's an unspotted fault in the process... (of course, the
question is, why wasn't it spotted earlier?)
If it weren't for IBM's R&D division it's likely that all hard drives
would have smaller capacity.
The only drives I've had die recently were Maxtors.
Have fun,
Shay
