Fix found for IBM Deathstar hard drives

EVEN THOUGH Big Blue shunted itself out of the hard drive business, engineers at the firm have been working like Santa's little gnomes on problems with the Deathstar hardrives that caused very irritating failures.

And, according to Storage Review, IBM has made available a fix for the 75GXP and 60GXP hard drives.

These drives, apparently, fouled up when the heads were idle, and as we all know, Old Nick makes work for idle heads.
