My Deathstar is 2.5 years old (60GB 60GXP) and is running fine. It had a hiccup with a bad cluster a month or so ago, but the repair tool from Hitachi fixed it up superbly!
However, I still don't trust any sensitive data to it...
400GB though. Wow, that good.

I'll keep an eye out for these, I'm running out of space on my 2nd 200GB drive already![]()
IBM harddrives are fun, were i work about 18months ago all we saw was IBM harddrives come back with the COD error (Click Of Death). i was thinking of smapling the noise and mixing it into a sound track as some sounded pretty funky (aphex stlye!)
Mmmmm, I have just purchased 2 160g Hitachi deskstars (£133 from scan) for a raid array. I did some extensive research cos I have known so many people lose data using the IBM Deathstars which I wouldn't touch for love nor money.
As I understand it IBM sold that division off to Hitachi who make the drives in Thailand. The design doesn't resemble the old IBM design and I've heard only good things. 3 year warranty included.

I still can't believe they kept the name tbh. Well I'll certainly post a thread entitled "iranu eats his hat over Deathstar fiasco" if they go belly up within 3 years.![]()
