That was just one particular run, and they were desktop drives.
But they had a failure rate of about 10% and IBM got a big black

Hard drives fail. It happens. Use this as an opportunity

The Hitachi 60GB 7200RPM is the best one you can buy.

Get one of the slick USB2 minature hard drive enclosures
to put your old 2.5" drive in.
