Temperature Tests
The IBM 75 GXP is one of the coolest drives we have tested under our new temperature testing methodology. While this is only the third drive we have tested that has included temperature data, we think the low figures here represent the kind of quality that IBM engineered into this drive. Although we currently only have temperature data a few drives, the results obtained so far seem to be within the reasonable limits that one would expect a hard drive to operate within, and well within the manufacturers safe operating limits. We do intend to include this test in all of our upcoming reviews, so eventually we will have more data to help make meaningful comparisons. Once we have data from a few more drives, we will present the information in a graphical form. Until then, we will just present each drives results within its respective review. |

It's really too bad that in the continuous ratrace of reviewing and testing new hardware, Anandtech's rarealy take the time to sit down and look back at products reviewed. In my experience the IBM 75GXP were disappointing when it came to reliability and longevity. What's the use of having the best performing harddrive if you don't know how long it will keep on working ? I just saw the replacement of my 45gig 75GXP replacement harddrive breaking down ... need I say more ?
