People say IBM drives are very reliable so I ordered one...

only recently did I find out about the frequent failures with the GMR heads...

wtf is up with that?

As for me..never tried WD..had a Hitachi fail on me 4 times before the whole drive refused to initialize. Own an IBM 10gig desktop drive (very old) with some probs, 20 gig Maxtor, runs like a champ, and my 20 gig IBM notebook drive runs just great.

Anyone else hear about the IBM issues? with the 60 and 75gxp models
