there are at least two versions that *I* have seen
the "E" and the "EX" ... I forget which is what at the moment, but one is
significantly faster than the other!
why not give maxtor a call ..... they are almost local to you!
By the way, what's a good price for these drives ? I may have a few that I wish
to sell, so let me know.
