I went to compusa for x-mas gifts and looked at a 7200rpm hard drive and noticed that it wasn't a "plus" drive. So... Is this a slower drive or is it a wrongly printed box or is it something else. Then I looked at all their other maxtor drives and none of them said "plus". I checked on their online site and the online page says "plus" and shows it in the picture. Can someone explain??

It's because they have a new box. The box is going to either say 5400RPM or 7200RPM on it. <A HREF="http://www.maxtordirect.com" target="_new"><font color=green>Maxtor Direct</font color=green></A> shows the new boxes and so does CompUSA online. The plus only indicated 7200RPM, and if it didn't have that then it would be 5400RPM.
