Ahem, ich will IBM ned verteidigen, aber um da mal mit diesen hartnäckigen, hass-tiratitionalen (interessantes Wortkonstruktivum, nicht? :-) ) Gerüchten aufzuräumen.

http://www.storagereview.com/  , in den news 18.03.2002:

IBM claims that, contrary to what we stated on the 6th, they did get back to us in a timely manner via e-mail. We’ve run into mail problems several times in the past so we have little reason not to believe them. A spokeswoman has this to say:


Regarding the conversation between the storagereview reader and the unnamed source, IBM does not know who that source is and does not support or confirm the authenticity of those statements. Our position is that users can certainly run the drive more than eight hours a day.
She also adds the following points:


The 333 power-on hours (POH) defined in the 120GXP data sheet is not a new spec for our GXP drives; it is consistent with what we've held our desktop drives to in previous generation drives. The 333 power-on spec is not an indication of a maximum number of power-on hours or limitation of the Deskstar 120GXP.
Our specifications indicate that the 333 power-on hours per month represent typical desktop PC usage. This assumes an 11-hour day based on a 30 day month. Users can and have successfully run the drive more than 11 hours a day and 333 hours per month; the drives have been used successfully in 24x7 environments.

IBM stands by the 3-year warranty for the 120GXP. Power-on hours will not be a determining factor in negating the warranty.

Since SR itself expressed hesitation on 120GXP server usage, I asked this question: What's IBM's official position in using Deskstar products in servers that would remain on 24/7? Though the warranty would be fully honored, is server utilization encouraged, discouraged, or neither?

IBM’s response:


Use of the drive 24x7 will not affect or void the warranty. IBM stands by our three-year warranty for the 120GXP. The drive can and has been used successfully in 24x7 operations. Users should not be concerned about running the drive in 24x7 environments beyond concerns typically associated with any drive usage, such as operating temperature, vibration, duty cycle, etc.
This is IBM's side of the issue. Ultimate conclusions when it comes to these nebulous rebiliabity issues are, as always, left to the reader.


Auf gut Deutsch: IBM weiss nichts von alledem.
