bad HD, good return

["Ruckstuhl, Keith E" <KRUCK@wvnvm.bitnet>]

TP750 mono, 340 meg HD

Hi- last week, the humming sound of the HD increased by 2x-5x,

(varied), often changing when I wrote to or read from the disk.

I called IBM direct (from whom I ordered), and had a new drive

the next day.  It took me the whole weekend to transfer all my

files (groan).  I was very pleased with IBM direct's service and

handeling of my problem.  Has anyone else had problems with their

HDs?  Is this going to happen every 6 months?

Thanks,

Keith
