| I've had and actually just replaced my "IBM" Deskstar drives. I had a total of 3 over the course of the past 5 years. All of them have failed. I don't know if anything changed since Hitachi took over but I switched to Western Digital and they are a little noisier but I've never had a problem with them so far. I was a real fan of the Deskstar drives but seeing them all fail just because of heavy usage didn't inspire me to go get another. They only have a limited 3 year warranty, after that you are on your own... unless their warranty has changed. |
