IBM were really good, I nearly only have IBM drives installed.
But it's true that they have (or at least had) a MAJOR issue with quality control since two of my newer IBMs have crashed. The older drives are - like my good old Seagate Barracuda (and an even older Quantum LPS270
) still working.
So at this point in time, unfortunately I would strongly disrecommend IBM drives, especially in a RAID setup where the drives have to be rock solid.
