There's been a continueing theme of the GXP range of IBM drives dying
very early in their life on some of the n/g's. Just been reading today
how IBM has got shot of their drive division to Hitachi I think it
was. One chap commented on how he'd had problems with a number of the
6 IBM drives he'd had installed. 6 of them had died. Pretty shocking
results that put me off them myself.
