Desktop Computer Review: Maxtor Fireball 3 - Hard drive - 40 GB - internal - 3.5" - ATA-133 - 5400 rpm

I've found Maxtor's to be good drives. I needed to replace a drive on a four year old computer I was refurbishing for a friend's daughter and this will be fine. Not too small, but big enough for a nine year old.
