I still feel burned from IBM's 75GXP fiasco ~7 years ago, even joined the lawsuit at the time(and got booted by the judge because I was in another state), had probably an 80% failure rate on those disks. I got a PDF on a CD somewhere that has all kinds of internal IBM docs(from the lawsuit) showing how they knew what the problems were but refused to fix them.
Been there done that. We bought a dozen or so OEM-machines at the time, all of them using that particular drive. All harddrives died after a year or so IIRC, and all of them within a two-week period... It still bugs me. 8-/
