IBM har indgået et forlig i en sag om deres Deskstar 75GXP harddisk, som betyder at de skal udbetale en erstatning på US$ 100 til alle med en sådan disk. Desværre er det kun for indbyggere i USA. Til trods for forliget, nægter IBM fortsat at der skulle have været problemer med denne model. IBM solgte deres harddisk-division til Hitachi for et par år siden.
Although IBM has agreed to the proposed settlement, it still denies any liability for problems with Deskstar 75GXP hard drives, which had been on the market since March 2000.
The class action proposed settlement applies to "all persons and entities" in the USA who bought for their own use a qualifying 75GXP HDD from IBM or from its authorised channel, or who bought a PC which contained a qualifying unit.
IBM employees need not apply, nor people who have released Big Blue from liability. The Deskstar 75GXP models are the DTLA 307-015, the 020, the 030, the 045, the 060, or the 075.
