Hello,

what r the Difference between "IBM IDE Drive" Deskstar 120GXP .Deskstar 75GXP & Deskstar 60GXP?


who is better ?

The newer drives are going to be faster. Reliability is a concern with 75GXP models. In any case, MTBRMA (Mean Time Between RMA, an new IBM term!) should be higher with 120GXP.

Cheers!

Actually, if you look at IBM's spec sheet for the 120gxp they said they reccomend only a 333 hour power on monthly usage of the drive (breaks down to about 11 hours a day). This is pretty strange to me, I would hesitate to reccommend this drive for that reason.
