Hello, I just checked our system logs - we have had 4 (four) 6718 drives fail since April. IBM measured some electric current leaks on our powerlines and blames the failing drives on this. In our SST I just found another drive error (temporary) with code 6718 FFF7 - anybody know how serios this is (IBM says no problem - but the helpline guy didn't even know about the internet news on these DASD problems :( Regards, Oliver > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Dwayne Lindner [SMTP:Dwayne.Lindner@writ.wesfarmers.com.au] > Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 12.
