Best model of Maxtor IDE 40gb 7200rpm?

[eqmassa]

After debating brand for a while, I finally settled on Maxtor due to it's speed and stability. Of course, I have to have a 7200rpm drive and 40gb is the right size for me. However, I'm still wrestling with what model of this drive to purchase. Any suggestions?

Gaming PC in progress, suggestions welcome

D740X of course (exactly D740X-6L)...
I mean does Maxtor produce any other IDE 7200rpm HDs? If you encountered Maxtor Fireball PlusAS or such, they're older Quantum drives that after selling the HD business to Maxtor have been rebranded Maxtor. The new D-740X is a much better performer.

Kind of sounds like an aircraft model number IMO.
