Review on 💾 Maxtor 80 GB Personal Storage 3100: Reliable & Portable External Hard Drive by Alex Mitra

I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with 1GB memory and 100GB internal hard drive. Pentium 4. Windows XP Professional. When I connect this Maxtor device to my computer, the drive is recognized but my network adapter is no longer recognized. After a lot of troubleshooting and searching for help on the Maxtor website, a problem emerged: Personal Storage 3100 is not compatible with Intel 82801 chipsets! I'm not sure, but I think the 82801 is already a pretty standard chipset. Don't buy this drive if you have this chipset. Just like this one. How to check your "Chipset" - Right-click "My Computer" - Left-click "Administrative Tools" - Right-click "Device Manager" " - In the right pane, expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" menu - If you see "Intel 82801", you should definitely not buy this drive, it will not work.
