ibm rma?

[lmbebo]

I rma'd my ibm 45GB 75gxp HD about 2-3 weeks and I finally got the HD back this morning. I got a used HD back that looks on the exterior to be beat and old. Casing is scratched and rubbed too much in certain areas.


<--last time I ever buy from ibm.

I tried to RMA a new Ultrastar and they told me that because it had been an "Installed" drive they wouldn't do it:|

A lot of places will replace broken stuff with old or returned stuff, I am suprised IBM did it on the simple fact that they probably sent you another 75gxp which means you will be sending it back soon .

IBM has been replacing the 45GB 75gxp with new 60GB 60gxp because they stopped with the 75gxp line, but who knows what they are thinking.

And when they said installed drive, where they talking about you buying a computer from dell or another pc company like that with the hd in it?

from what I had read, I was expecting a 60gxp. instead I got a 75gxp 45GB to replace my broken 75gxp.
my last drive had those bad sectors 0x70 and 0x77 error codes?

Knowing my luck this drive will fail the day after my warrenty ends.
