RE: Disk Failure -- MIDRANGE-L

Their "silence" on this matter is doing them more harm than good.  You 
think they would have learned from the frequent criticism of Microsoft for 
not comig clean on their problems (recently again re MSG Messenger being 
down for a week).
They shold tell all they know regarding this problem.  They are screwing 
around with customer data & businesses by not telling everything they know 
about this.  Is it possible the problem is so widespread they don't have 
enougfh disks to replace all the faulty ones ? 
Unless they come clean on this that's the type of speculation that's going 
to flourish.

I'm trying to do that, but IBM is not being very cooperative with details.
Apparently all of the "suspect" drives were built in Singapore.

Is it possible to narrow it  down to some manufacturing /ship/install date
window?
Just  to get an idea of the scope of the exposure and if there is an END
DATE yet?

Al When were your  manufactured/shipped?

     Hi,
     I have looked at an IBM website that says the 6717's are 8.58GB / 10K
     rpm.
     Are these the disks you refer to ? We have ten in our new (to us) 
730.
     Should I be worried ?
