- rogerbinns 11y agoI had 4 of the 3 IBM "Deathstars" I bought fail. Yes, all 3 failed and then one of the replacements failed too.
- justin66 11y agoI had one fail, got a replacement, and with the replacement and its replacements continued that cycle until a new generation of drives came out, at which point I sold the stupid thing on eBay. It was unreal.
