New Powerbooks - Fujitsu drives - Oh No!

I recently read an article about Fujitsu Drives being recalled because of
sudden and unexpected disk crashes. Computers fitted with these drives
tended to experience situations where the computer would crash and when the
machine is rebooted the drive could not be recognized - all data being lost.

Then I checked out the equipment in my new Powerbook and I discovered that
it is equipped with a Fujitsu MHS2060AT drive (which holds just short of 56
Gig - about 2 Gig less than most other 60 Gig drives).

I am a bit concerned about this! I believe I will be looking for a
replacement drive really soon - as soon as the 8 Mb buffered 60 drives come
out.
