    It's only certain models. I use 120gb ibm disks but I have two of them (all data backed up) incase of one blowing up.

    I would not trust any single disk with any important data (my divx and mp3).

    It's worth having a backup of everything that matters to you.

    In defence of ibm, i've had both of mine on 24/7 for about 1-2years and i've had no problem.
