Had a look at thier website and asked a friend.

they stole parts or people? oh, u mean ibm employees? how does that make their product more reliable? i go with maxtor and wd and seagate cuz they have a big name and are farily reliable. i've never heard of this b4

I found these Review (http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/articles.hwz?cid=10&aid=436), Review (http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/articles.hwz?cid=10&aid=692) on older models, and those sound good anyhow.

And it seems that they have a joint manufacture agreement with hitachi, whatever that means.

Maybe it has something in common with the Deskstar-line?

look at this price (http://www.tabsystems.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=113_83&products_id=315), same drive?

for a price difference of £3 you may have been better with this.
