"FOURTH failure in 1 YEAR!"
onSummary This is ridiculous... Fourt Drive sent back this year. I have 2 systems. Both run 2 drives each using them as a mirror raid (all 4 drives are 11 months old each). In all FOUR drives have crashed on me. I FINALLY saw some info about repeat failures on a site and did a search. I ended up here and saw that I was not alone. All I have to say is DO NOT BUY IBM DRIVES or you will regret it!!!!! I guess I will check out SEAGATE!

"It WILL die, give it time."
onSummary I have an Alienware which came w/ dual Deskstar 75GB drives. The first month I had it, one of the drives developed bad sectors. It failed the "smart" tests, and now, recently in a blaze of screeching and clicking, died. Unfortunately, I put too much trust in IBM and the quality of their drive and did not have the data backed up. Don't make the same mistake I did. All of your important work will be lost if you rely completely on these IBM drives (DTLA-307075). Lost all my work and trust....
