Actually I'm not surprised that you have 5 failures in six years. Those
units are most likely fairly busy.
I've had more problems with CE dispatch over the last year and it seems to
be getting worse rather than better. I actually had to take one up to a
SEV1 to get a response from the CE. Made him come out at 3am to fix the
part (It could have waited but I was POd)
His response, "at least I get overtime for this". Huh?

Subject: P7 8205 571GB 10k RPM SAS SFF-2 Disk Drive (IBMi failure
Had a 571gb 10k drive fail last night at 21:46:54.
Machine called home to IBM, was notified by hardware support by 10:00 PM of
the issue.
Hardware support sent the call to dispatch, to be notified by CE within an
hour to schedule replacement.
So far, so good.
Now the bad news.
8 hours later, still no call from CE.
Called hardware support back, the "dispatch call" got lost in the "bit"
bucket.
Call was re-dispatched.
CE ordered the part at 6:42.
Part arrived at 10:00 am via courier.
Replaced by 10:15.
Disk drive rebuild time - 10 hours.
Completed by 20:15.
.
This was my 5th 571gb failure since 2012.
Thank You
