I tried to pick one of these up from a local computer store that also sells on the web. According to their website they had a few of these drives in stock so on my lunch hour I drove down there with the intention of making a purchase. I walked in and said "I need a Maxtor D740X 40gig drive" the counter guy said sure and walked back to the storeroom. He came back a short time later with a Maxtor D540X and said, "I don't know what the difference is but this is what we have." Buying a hard drive is kind of confusing at times but when you sell the stuff you should at least know what the numbers mean. Needless to say the store didn't stock the D740X so I walked out.
