the highest capacity and performance DAT drive with up to 160GB compressed data per cartridge and speeds of around 50GB/hr (assuming 2:1 data compression). The USB 2.0 interface provides plug-and-play connectivity enabling backup to be initiated from straight out-of-the-box in less than 60 seconds.

Advantages: Quick transfer speed, Disadvantages: Fairly Bulky
...What can i say this is an internal had-drive which obviously integrates within a computer system. Nowadays 80GB is not enough for anyone as programs are now increasing in size due to their complexity and what they have to offer.
A harddrive is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Non-volatile storage is simply the name given to a storage device which can retain stored data even when not powered. With a volatile storage device being one that can not retain saved data e.g. RAM (Random Access Memory).
I used to have an 80GBharddrive in the past on my "OLD" PC, which was about 5 years ago. Now i have a 300 GBharddrive which i have to admit is filling up really quickly. Due to the number of files stored e.g music, photo, video etc.
This particular...

Advantages: Portable, easy to use, never failed on me yet! Disadvantages: Perhaps only the disc size, but it has taken me 2 years to fill it!
...Wester Digital, a respected brand name, and i agree!
I have owned the unit now for around 2 years, and have 0 problems. My internal harddrive has died on me twice but my external one, never!
This 80gb HDD is perfect for storing large files, home movies, photo albums, music etc. It's ideal when transfering data from one place to another, simply unplug it, plug it in elsehwre and hey presto!
It supports drag & drop so moving files couldn't be easier.
Standard power adpater with 3-pin plug, and USB 2.0 connection to your pc, mac, server etc.
It is easily recognised by each operating system and i have yet to find one that doesn't support the unit. Plug it in, wait around 30secs and it's up and running.
Can be stored horizontally, and if you have 3 like me, you can stack them perfectly, or store them vertically...

...to my anti-virus software. I started to backup the contents of my new harddrive onto the Maxtor, which i had been using as the backup/storage drive. About 5 minutes into the copy operation, and with a good 80GB left on the drive, I got the dreaded blue error screen. Since then, I'm in the same situation I was in before, without the benefit of being to remember exactly what fixed the problem last time.
It is usually said that the first time a drive shows problems is the time to ditch the drive. I obviously know that now, but I'm at least grateful that I managed to get an extra three months out of it. However, with the average harddrive lasting in the region of about two and a half years, the performance of this model is nothing short of dismal.
My opinion, Maxtor is fine for a basic setup with infrequent use, but certainly...

However you use your PC, make sure you take back ups!
A few days after we moved into our house, we were burgled and all our electrical goods were taken. Amongst these items was my laptop on which I had a database of animal pedigrees which had been... more
