a year now huh? i think mine died......within 6 months of when i bought it. it got sent to maylasia, and i got it back a week later, plugged it, and it died AGAIN! 2 weeks later. ibm says theyll replace it with a 60GXP drive but.....those are failing almost as much as the 75GXPs are. so i say screw them until the lawsuit goes through, then ill get myself another nice 120GB maxtor drive and have some fun with the on-board raid on my motherboard.
