    Death of a Harddrive!

    Death of a Harddrive!

    The computer that I’m testing the Watercooling kit in has two Hdd’s…
    One Quantum fireball 6gb and one IBM GXP75 60Gb…

    Guess which one failed yesterday?

          The Quantum Fireball were nearly as bad as the IBM GXP series. Slow, bad quality, low cache... (that's called a mainstream-model, I guess )

          Take an old Quantum Empire or LPS drive, you won't see those die (I have both, a 1GB Empire and a LPS270 still working)

              I once had a Quantum Fireball 6.4GB fail (in my sister's machine). It was still under warranty so it got replaced... and the replacement failed, still within the original warranty period. The second replacement is still running good (touch wood).

                I once read a story about a server disk (think it was a Atlas), which got so hot, the plastic casing melted, and the drive fell down. It still worked.
