I'd never had trouble with an IBM drive until the deathstar problems 
:(  what bothers me is there's a RAID array that is in use that I had 
spec'd out with IBM deathstars. spent the extra $30 a drive at the time 
because they HAD been better....  I've since talked to my previous boss and 
suggested that he replace the IBM drives, one at a time with Maxtor 120 Gig 
(the biggest that controller can handle unless they've come out with new 
firmware that can do the 32 bit ATA sector addressing instead of 24? bit 
sector addressing ) if so, I told him to go with the Maxtor 300 gig drives, 
for 2.1 terabytes of raid5 storage :) YUM
