I got a 60GXP on one of those incredible Dell deals a few years back and it lasted all of two weeks!! Dell was kind to me and sent a WD to replace it.

ordered 5?! LOL, 5 x 40 = 200 bucks! 200gb..
are you building 5 pc? cause that all its good for but hell it maybe just temporary. dude you're nuts
btw,GEEK is charging too much and this is refurbish! 120gb cost 72 bucks, this does not make economic sense to buy 30 gb for 40 :\

My ibm HD died within the year oem warranty and ibm told me that they sold everything to hitachi and I need to take it up with them because my scsi drive wasn't one of the ones listed as serviced by ibm. I called Hitachi and they told me that they didn't buy the responsibility of fixing that particular drive. I probably could have made a big enough deal to get it back but instead I just swore never to buy ibm or hitachi again.

I actually don't think its the IBM HDD's fault.
I had 2 75GXPs die on me but fortunately I was able to transfer the data to the replacement 60GXP they sent in return. When the 60GXP started going bad, I transferred it to a 120GB Maxtor which promptly died with all of my data on it.
I believe it must be some HDD virus that spread when you connect the IDE adapters to the drives.
