IBM Deskstar 75GXP, also known by its popular culture nickname, IBM Deathstar, is a hard drive family created by IBM. This family was infamous for being one of the most unreliable hard drive families to date, and was a major catalyst for IBM's departure from the hard drive market.
Products
Trivia
- Despite its infamy, this family did usher in for the first time ramp loading and unloading to 3.5" drives, a feature that would eventually be copied some years later by the other manufacturers.
- Along with this, this drive first introduced the quirk of Power-off Retract Count being erroneously identical to Load/Unload Cycle Count, which would be carried over to all later Deskstars. It currently still presents in the Toshiba DT01ACA, Toshiba DT01-V and Western Digital Ultrastar families, which are all based on the 75GXP's Deskstar descendants.
