- nknighthb 13y agoNo, it was the whole 75GXP set (actually, according to Wikipedia, the 120GXP and 180GXP were also affected to a far lesser extent). The backlash was really nasty, though, because IBM's drives were something a lot of us had come to trust and rely on, the 75GXP was kind of a flagship drive, and IBM's handling of the issue was less than stellar. We felt betrayed. I never have bought another IBM (or Hitachi) drive. The reaction is visceral and intractable.
- radiowave 13y agoAh yes. I think I had the jumper on mine set to limit the drive to 38GB. Luckily, mine was OK.
