New Hitachi HDDs Bank on Serial ATA

[iceblue]

[Swordfish]

somethin like "BrightStar" or RevivedStar.

or a "Deskstar Reloaded".:r

[Agent_R]

Starfish? :)

Wasn't the name "Deskstar" under IBM's banner?

[Holodoc]

yes, but hitachi bought ibm's HD division, i guess.

i have 2 deskstar drives in use in a raid 0.......it work's fine
for about 2 years now....(DTLA 307030)

:t NOT ALL DESKSTAR DRIVES ARE PLAGUED WITH PORBLEMS. THAT ONLY PARTAINED TO ONE DRIVE MODEL THE DESKSTAR 75GXP; SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN THE 120GXP AND THE 180GXP AND BOTH DRIVES HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY TROUBLE FREE AND RELIBLE. SO LETS PUT THE PAST AND THE MISTAKES MADE BEHIND US. BECAUSE IN MY OPINION IBM HARD DRIVES HAVE HISTORICLY BEEN ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED AND RELIBLE DRIVES MADE (DATING BACK TO SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PS/AT/XT MOSELS). AND I LOOK FORWARD TO EVEN MORE GREATNESS FROM IBM IN THE FUTURE.(WHOSE DRIVE DIVISION IS NOW OWNED IN PARTERSHIP WITH HITACHI) ITS TIME TO MOVE IN TO THE FUTURE.

I GIVE MUCH THANKS TO IBM FOR THE BIRTH OF THE WHOLE PC INDUSTRY
