Hi,

Im done with it now... In the last few years 4 IBM harddrives
crashed... You know, I love IBM for all there hardware, but
when it comes to harddrives, I just run away screaming...

Now my 60 GB IBM hdd in my T30 begins to make strange sounds,
and when I flip it I hear that inside something is loose...
Not good.

So I began making backups, and now I need a new harddrive.

I go buy one soong, anything but IBM :)

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in 2,5" HDDs from
other vendors, can you suggest some good and not too expensive
60 GB drives?

Regards,
Chris
