The maxtor drives
XxYYYyZ
where X is a number x is a letter YYY is the capacity (040 for a 40G) y is a letter Z is a number.
When Z = 2, the disk is single platter, and COULD have been 4 times as large by adding three more platters. That adds up to 160G so the
Xy040z2 drives will certainly do LBA48.
