[TheCorm]

Was just wondering whether they new 180GXP series has any issues like the 75 and 60GXP series?

if they have not fixed it by now, then they are idiots and i dont think ibm has many idiots

Well if they were really good the 60GXP line would not have had the same probs....but it did....

I bought mine in January and has been fine since with regular use.

Any further thoughts?

i just rmaed a 180gxp, the one i received back was made in sep 03, i will have to test it for quite awhile before i trust it again, but that would be with any hdd failure.

i have a 120gxp running fine 24hrs a day, 180gxp's should be fine
