Ditto. Unfortuantly it's not just the 60+GB drives. I've got a 40GB
Deskstar drive that is supposed to be one of the problem drives in my old
Linux box. Even worse, I didn't find out about the problems until after
buying a 60GB drive for my PowerMac. As a result of learning of the
problems I've migrated the data on the Linux box to a new system, and I'm
using the 60GB disk on the Mac as a *really* big scratch disk.

I'm guessing the reason I've not had much trouble with the disk on the
Linux box is becuase I only use the system about 1 weekend in 4.
