Very disappointed by IBM.
Purchased an xSeries 225 server over a yesr ago. One drive failed, and now I
CANNOT replace the drive. It is manufactired by Seagate, and the part itself
has 5 years warranty. However IBM gives me only 1 year. GO FIGURE. NICE JOB
IBM. This is my last purchase of IBM products!

What was your warranty contract when you purchased server? Can you figure
that?

If the drive has 5 year warranty then the drive has 5 year warranty.
If the drive has *not* 5 year warranty then the drive has *not* 5 year warranty.

Can he figure *that*.

Well, since IBM got out of the drive business a couple of years ago, and
your problem in any case is with a Seagate drive, not IBM, I don't think
that there's really much point to your post.

You are blaming the Seagate drive used in IBM products, but not the
Hitachi/IBM harddrive. Your subject confuses people.

It seems he was blaming IBM computer, the warranty of bundling components
doesn't align with those in retail markets in same brands.
