Interestingly, they don't list any 75GXP drives now, and neither does www.dabs.com, nor www.insight.com/uk. They all did 4 weeks ago...
The 75GXP was superceded by the 60GXP, presumably an IBM coverup for the "non-"issue with the 75s dying horrible data-corrupting deaths. If I were you, I'd start looking for a replacement now.
What's worrying me though is how noisy the drive is. The reviews I read of it had me believe it was quiet. I'm not sure what to make of all this now.
Well, compared to every other ATA or SCSI drive in this performance class, the GXPs *are* quiet. Have you ever had a disk this big or fast, though? For reference, I had a Quantum Bigfoot once. Sounded like a jackhammer going off inside my case every time I had to read or write data. The 75GXPs I used make the Bigfoot sound like a whisper; it comes with the territory. ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
