Reliable? Hardly

- Three IBM Deskstars (40gb), broken from 6 to 10 months each, to the same fault (model problem, something like 40% of the same were delivered back to IBM for replacements :)
- One Maxtor 40GB, replacement now running on this Pegasos. Me praying it will stay running for more than a year.
- One IBM 3.2GB I can't remember the model, replacement being used for Amithlon only.

These harddrives have died on three separate computers, two being used normally, one running as a server 24/7. Overheating has never been the cause.

That said, my Quantum 4GB drive is still 100% fully working, being years old, big and ugly ;-)
