    Funny that, just hearing "75GXP" would be plenty enough to remind me of the Deathstar.

    There were also some quality issues with the 60GXP, the successor to the 75GXP, but not on the same order.

    My experience? 30GB 75GXP. 14 months, RIP.

    But why isn't anyone suing Sony for the same thing?

    They did.

    recall the deathstar drives, we'd be making progress.

    Seriously, I had 2 drives (same manu. date/place) go within a day of each other. Coincidence? I think not. (Link goes to Class action lawsuit page)

    There is a class action lawsuit going on currently with regard to exactly those hard drives: see more info here.

    But your Honor, we don't have the data because we stored all the data on IBM GXP hard drives. Don't know what I'm talking about? There's even a lawsuit on this. It is well established that IBM GXP hard drives have problems. That's why the shredding documents charge is absurd!


    Enron could have used this if they remembered to throw out the scraps of shredded paper instead of leaving them on the floor.

    Actually, instead of shredding documents, once they get caught again, all they have to say is:

  7. Deskstar 75GXP class action lawsuit, now this??? by Nitar · · Score: 1 · on IBM Developing Lego-like Storage Brick

    This comes on the heels of IBM bailing out of the consumer HD market.

    Are they going to have a 6 week waiting period if one of the drives fails? Are they going to tell people that their drives don't fail any more than anyone else's? Are their drives going to have extraordinarily high failure rates, in some cases 50%? Are they going to tell people that they are using their drives too much if they are on for more than 8 hours a day?

    Sorry, but they can't even get consumer grade hard drives to work with any semblance of reliability. Why would people trust them to make drives that are obviously going to be targeted at high-end commercial boxes?

    There is currently a class action lawsuit pending against IBM for their recent HD disasters that they unleashed upon the public. Maybe people should wait and see, before jumping on the next IBM storage bandwagon.

    Here's the link to the lawsuit, if you are interested.
