I need to know if the Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM Drives have issues worth noting and first hand experience is always best. I plan on using some on a video editing box and part of the purpose will be for just archiving. Anyone had issues cause I'm looking at getting three? Thanks.

Intel is god, cleanroom is life, and the wafers are all that matter.

I just installed a new WD 1200BB today. NTFS file system. I was going to buy the IBM 120GXP
but didn't want to be a beta tester. My 60gig 60GXP has been working fine since August 2001,
but I didn't want to take the chance on the new IBM until they are out longer.
Y.F.I. Sandra 2002 benchtest 27905. IBM 60GXP is 24516. So far the 1200BB is more quiet than
the IBM and is faster. Time will tell.
