Re: [TCLUG:10325] IBM Hard Disks

Well I've got the IBM-DTTA-371010 (10.1 @ 7200rpm).  I've only had it
since around last Feb, so I can't say much for reliability.  As far as
sound though, I've also got the maxtor 90845D4, and I wouldn't really say
the IBM is quieter, but it has a more pleasant sound, much less shrill
than the maxtor.  wEll maybe I would say it's quieter

Someone told me ibm drives are made by samsung, never looked into it
though.

-ryan           be kind.
