Apple Quality Control
I also have my doubts about wether the higher cost is justified by rigorous quality control. I replaced the three 60GB IBM ATA drives from my XServe G4 with 120GB Western Digital drives. The 120GB drives have been running 24/7 without a crash for about a year. The 60GB drives were moved to PowerMac workstations and so far one of them has crashed (intermittent read/write failure, SMART and surface check tests show no errors). I wish I could buy the sleds seperately, I'd be hot-swapping like a 70s car key party.

That's nice that your drives haven't had problems. But we're not talking about 33% failure rates here, where you'd expect that one of your three drives would have a problem in a year. |
