Too bad that IBM don't make enduser's HDD anymore. 
been using DeskStar 60Gb 7200 2meg since 2003.
Went to lowyat yesterday to hunt for HDD and was told that there's no IBM hdd for a long time
anyway, setteled for WD 80Gb 7200 8mb hope that it don't break down like my friend's WD
I've noticed that after changing to a better PSU, there's no more bad sectors and no HDD deaths. maybe that's the cause of faulty HDDs??
IBM? they sold their entire hard drive division to Hitachi in 2003--either because they find they cant earn too much** from HDD OR due to the infamous 75GXP. been using DeskStar 60Gb 7200 2meg since 2003.Went to lowyat yesterday to hunt for HDD and was told that there's no IBM hdd for a long time

**Conner brought over by Seagate, Micropolis close down in 1997, Quantum sold its hard drive division to Maxtor, Fujitsu exited the mass market in 2001 only make specialist notebook and SCSI drives, Toshiba make only 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch notebook drives.....this is not a easy market to survive.
as for which brand make good harddisk--i own over 10pc of IBM/Hitachi HDD, only one each for seagate, WD and Maxtor--you know what i'm gonna recommend.
