IBM Sued For High Failure Rates In 75GXP Drives
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

The Tech Report has been following the high hard drive failure rate for IBM's 75GXP line:
You will recall that I previously posted asking about problems with IBM 75GXP hard drives. The response was overwhelming. More recently, a web hosting outfit announced they were pulling all 75GXP drives from production because of "amazingly high" failure rates.
But the big news is this: I just got an e-mail (apparently from plaintiff's counsel) letting me know that a class action lawsuit has been filed against IBM. The lawsuit (surprise, surprise) asserts that there is a defect in the 75GXP line that causes abnormally high failure rates. You can take a look at the complaint in PDF form here.
I've not worked with these drives personally, but I believe a couple of our forum members have had problems with this drive failing.

Strange that I never had problems with my two 75GXPs ... even in RAID 0 ...

Seems to me they were praised when they first come out. Maybe they skimped out on the later drives...don't know.
