Storage Reviews reports that in January this year, IBM made available a firmware fix for their infamous "Deathstar" (Deskstar 75GXP and 60GXP) series of hard drives that supposedly significantly enhances the reliability of these drives by moving the heads around when they idle.

Anyone who has one of those drives should download the firmware update immediately to reduce the risk of hard drive failure and data loss.
