IBM HARD DISK FAILURE
We are thrilled to report that after
two months of intensive labor, all Web
Panache servers are now free of the
defective IBM hard disks (model 75GXP)
mentioned in earlier communiqués. We
also installed RAID-1 on all machines.
Thank you for your patience as we made the
necessary hardware replacements.
IBM still refuses to acknowledge the
existence of the faulty disk but our
personal experience (50% failure rate) has
proven to us that it is not a matter of
'if' these hard disks will fail, but a
matter of 'when'. We strongly recommend you check your
own computers, and the computers of your
friends and family for IBM Model 75GXP.
If you own one, back up all data
immediately and seek a replacement. To
read more about the issue on the web
(including a class action law suit in
progress and personal horror stories of
lost data) please reference:
