Hello,

Just installed a new drive and it locked fine in ConfigMagic Final. The drive is a:

Maxtor Ultra Series 120GB
Kit#: L04P120
Drive#: 6Y120P0
7200RPM, 8MB Buffer, UATA133

is this the same drive best buy has for $139 - $60 in rebates? (L01P120)
I went all over Maxtor checking out the site, and what I got was this is the same drive as L04P120 - forget about getting any info on lockability!

UPDATE: I shelled out the cash ($139 - $20 more than my xbox!) and bought the drive/kit - turns out it does in fact have the 6Y120P0 drive that has been confirmed to lock (many times in this thread) so after $60 in rebates, you have yourself a shiny new 8 meg cache 120 gig drive! (got it at bestbuy)

I've locked 5 different WD SE 120GB 7200RPM 8Mb, All with config magic. All of which were purchased with in the last six months. I'm not saying that who ever has tried and could not get theirs to lock is just doing it wrong, but that I've had pretty good luck with the ones that I've come in contact with. Has anyone found a constant pattern or guide to why some of these drives lock and some don't?

Maxtor Diamondmax Plus9 120Gb, 7200rpm, 8Mb cache locks fine.

Also, for those running Maxtor drives, there's a util you can download from maxtor (setacm.exe I think) that lets you make the drive a lot quieter. I can't hear mine at all now, whereas before the head seeks were pretty loud!

Ok, can someone compile a list of all CONFIRMED locking HD's when you buy them straight from the store? ALSO, include where you bought it and how much you paid for it.
