18. IBM Deskstar 75GXP (2000) Dead as a womp rat: The Deskstar 75GXP had one notable vulnerability--it tended to crash and die without warning.Fast, big, and highly unreliable, this 75GB hard drive was quickly dubbed the "Deathstar" for its habit of suddenly failing and taking all of your data with it.

OMG, I had 2 of these in a RAID 0 Array... needless to say, click, click, click, thump, thump they were toast after about 3 months..
