Expensive now, but they will come down. When will we get them here in Holland?

Not that much more expensive, but refresh my memory for a sec, what's their main advantange? Faster still, or more reliable (wouldnt hurt em)?

The GXP 60 will be faster in terms of average seek and also STR (sustained transfer rate). More reliable is for sure since all the problems experienced with the IBM GXP 75 - especially the 45 GB model!

Everyone at Storagereview.com is talking well about the drive and having high expectations. Should be a good one. Also as far as a RAID setup goes, the GXP 60 will be faster than the GXP 75 and come very close to sCSI performance.

Cheers.

BOSS,
You forgot to ADD BTW (19%)!! I am not sure whether you will have the same opinion and make the same statement after you have added that to the prices.
They are cheaper in Germany, but that is what one would expect anyway.

Cheers.
