Product Description
ThinkPad G40 combines the affordability of a desktop PC with the design and portability of a ThinkPad notebook. Designed for the user who requires a full-featured machine with occasional mobility, the ThinkPad G40 is ideally suited for small- to medium-sized businesses, schools and universities, and government agencies.The ThinkPad G40 addresses notebook users who rely more on AC power than battery power, often migrating from one AC outlet to the next. Some analysts estimate this usage pattern at up to 25 percent of notebooks in the enterprise.Until now, customers have had to choose between power and portability. The ThinkPad G series offers the option of being portable without sacrificing the features desktop users require. It's perfect, for example, for teachers who need to move their PC from classroom to home now and then, or for an accountant or insurance adjuster who occasionally travels for on-site audits.The ThinkPad G40 also incorporates the design elements that ThinkPad users have come to expect - steel hinges and a reinforced edge around the panel, as well as ThinkPad's award-winning keyboard, which has been further enhanced with the innovative new inclined ComfortSlant design.

An expensive paper weight.......2006-09-24

This drive is a piece of junk and is even too big for a good paper weight. I have had issues from the beginning such as bad sectors etc. I reformatted the drive to NTFS and it worked just ok for a few months. Sometimes the drive is recognized and sometimes not. Sometimes I can access the files and other times not. It had a lot of issues with folders that contained other folders. Eventually I no longer trusted this machine as a *backup* drive as I repeatedly got I/O errors. I purchased a West.Dig. hard drive and it is night and day. It actually has a power button and shuts down automatically when not in use and is very fast.

Maxtor External HD piece of junk.......2006-06-22

I bought a 100 gig external Maxtor USB hard drive in December from Best Buy (Maxtor Personal Storage 3100). I was backing up the data on the hard drive to the server and the hard drive crashed (It is now only June). I only got about half the data off of it. I went to the Maxtor website to get an RMA, and imagine my surprise when I found out the warranty was only good for 90 days. What a piece of junk hard drive. NEVER buy a Maxtor drive. I'm sticking with Seagate. I bought an external Seagate drive \from Amazon and it is built like a tank and just hums along. Seagate bought Maxtor recently, though why they would besmirch their good name I don't know!
Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)

Good, but not that good.......2006-02-13

I got mine for $100 at Best Buy about 6 months ago. It works well most of the time, however the hard drive will occasionally stop responding while it is plugged into my computer, forcing me to pull the power(!) to reset it. It works, sure, but I would have saved another few dollars for a higher spec drive from another manufacturer. Still, the price point was great.

so far so good.......2005-12-27

so far so good. just backed up some files for transfer from my work pc to my home pc. copying went smoothly. i plugged it in as illustrated then connected the usb and went smoothly from there. pretty glad it worked too as there're very few reviews of it and the one review i did find was a very negative one, but it was a risk i had to take as i needed to backup very badly, and the next step up was too expensive and the 80gb iomegas were out of stock.

it's larger/bulkier than what i thought it would be but that's okay. it comes with its own power brick and usb cable. installed by itself easily on winXP and i was on my way to copying files into it.

overall a very competent drive for the price.

p.s. the pictures arent right, the product looks like this
