Quite a few people say this. I had a 60gb deathstar back in 2001 and it died destroying all my data and I've never brought another since. I wonder if the deathstar financialy incident seriously hit IBM badly with replacements and lost custom?

I doubt it even made a ripple. IBM were too big for that, even then. I never lost any data but did have a 66% failure rate on them. I binned the third before it had chance.

Do any current mobos have EFI BIOS' to allow booting from these or is it something that will begin to be rolled out on new boards?

Or you get a SAN

Yeah because they don't need hard drives do they.. oh wait..
