I have lost two IBM DEATHstar's , a 40G content drive that pissed me right off.. and another that I managed to save the info off before it clapped out completely.

IBM DEATHstar's have a bad rep... |pissed|

I believe IBM have sold out their HDD division to Hitachi now.. don't know if that will mean improvement or not..

I run Seagates now.. but Western Dig, would probaly still be my top choice.
