....and he\'s being kind ...
... they have BIG problems.....
they are being sued by loads of americans in a class law suit for selling unreliable drives....
-from my experience of the two I was using in RAID, they gave all sorts of problems from stuttering sound to \'plenty of crashes\' type problems....
on the IBM site is a DFT download which tests the drives really well and provides the nessacery codes to enable you to return them under the IBM three year warrenties....
-HOWEVER ! - Ive sent mine back 5 times EACH and im still getting sent drives back from IBM which then fail their own DFT again !
-ive since lost all faith in IBM, and have bought a new maxtor d740 drive which so far has been reliable, but then so were the ibm\'s for a while...
eitherway, my mate (same drives, same problems) has abused his position within our IT dept and managed to get his replaced with BRAND NEW drives.... Im currently in the process of doing this, but i did have to write to their manger expressing my reluctance to buy any more IBM server

AI !
he he, it seems to work, but if i get new drives back, i will either sell them to someone i hate, or maybe perform a ceromonial burial on them... burning them alive first of course... as a sign of respect ! - or lack of it...
Pah !
