ibm i laugh in your face
For all those people that say that IBM drives are the best.
Recently in an Australian Computer magazine, they did a review on HDDs. The only one that they didnt review was ibm and the reason given by ibm was that they rebadge a drive from one of three suppliers, and they couldn't garantee that a user would purchase the same manufacturers drive.
This is because the drive number doesnt link up to a manufactuer, cause they just rebadge an 80G drive from one of the manufacurers as an IBM 80G hdd.
So there you go, an ibm drive that you buy will only be as relable as the drive the manufacturers own.
