It is my understanding that 75GXP is just a model number for that line of drives. All of the Deskstar ATA100 drives are of the 75GXP variety.

That is correct, 75GXP is the model number. Before I knew, I thought all the 75GXP's were 75GB drives, but then I saw a 30GB 75GXP, it's all clear now

Actually...
I think the 75 signifies the maximum size for that particular model, since all the models in the series use the same platters/head configurations, just more platters for each drive. They don't offer anything larger than a 75GB model. Similarly with the Deskstar 14GXP, they went as large as a 14GB.

Oh yeah!
Hey Dave, I know this is "unrelated" but I was checking out your "stats" and I must say, your "Halfnakedbabe" site rocks!
I knew I joined this forum for a good reason!

LOL, thanks, but I gotta start updating that again! I haven't touched it since October...
I need a script to automate it though!

I'll bet I could get shot for this...
If you want a good image source though, you might wanna start grabbing the images from HardOCP's Babe Thread...Actually, some of them came from the same place that those HalfNakedBabe pictures came from, so it's not like anyone would really care, I bet...
