IBM DeathStar was a major problem back in the days of 15G to 40G hard disks. No issue after that. You should also avoid Seagate's 7200.11 series. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

See the shocking pictures at <http://www.astro.ufl.EDU/~ken/crash/index.html> And it indeed trashed IBM's reputation for consumer disks (which had previously been top notch for the first generation of its IDE disks from Hungary). In order to restore confidence, they went into partnership with Hitachi, and then sold their consumer disk operation entirely to Hitachi.

It was the glass platters that were problematic. Lately I read news that a Taiwanese company Hoya(?) was going to buy into glass platters again. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!
