Yes, it's really a 40mb drive. I had it in my first PC.

@trymesucker ok i see and i am the73127 on a different account because i don't want to post so many different kinds of vids on one channel so and why me lol when he was the one who posted them u'll have to explain that to me  you'll ^

[trymesucker]

@antivirusreviews2010 Do you see it too? He posted it 3 different times... So thats why lol..

[antivirusreviews2010]

@trymesucker ok i don't see why its lol it was a legit question it had 40mb but the only 40mb wd drives i've seen did in fact have stepper motors and i couldn't tell if it was a 140 or a 240 so shut the fuck up! (keyword penn)

@wollomatic : cool! I once had the exact same disk drive. If it wasn't for me poking a screw driver in the case when I was bored one day, it would still be working today...
