Advantages: Large storage capacity, reliable, well designed Disadvantages: Occassional bleep, non fatal errors
I have been using the MaxtorOneTouch4 for almost a year now and so far it has been very reliable and worth every penny. It can store 500 GB which is more than enough for most kinds of media.
I use it for storing videos and photos. The 500GB comes in handy for editing and storing lots of .avi files. I also tend to install software onto the Maxtor hard drive as I generally don't have enough space on my computer. The only disadvantage with that is the occassional bleeping sound as the hard drive works hard to access the files I am using.
It connects to a USB port on your computer and comes with the USB cable. It also comes with a power cable. Rather than being powered through the USB cable, it is powered by the mains which unfortunately makes it less portable.
It normally shuts down after a period of inactivity (about 10 minutes ...
of its abilities I started copying larger amounts over.
I have quite a bit of music and photos stored on my work computer and it made sense to transfer them onto my drive so that everything ws backed up in one place. In one go I transferred 8GB of files from my work computer to my external drive. It took a while to do but there was no problems in doing it at all.
I currently have almost 400GB of files (music, photos and office documents) and I never have any problems or delays in accessing data. All I need to do now is plug it into my laptop and I'm off, it automatically loads everything and I have instant access to my files on the external drive. You also have the option to set is so that the external drive automatically saves everything from your computer and makes back-up copies. I haven't used that feature but it is a good one to have ...
Advantages: none Disadvantages: power failure,cheapness of build
Well what can i say. I chose maxtor because i thought it was a good named brand and would be reliable. Plus the fact they have been taken over by seagate who have been in the hard drive business forever. With these two factors you would think this would be a reliable external drive. How wrong could you be. The worst thing about this drive is the unreliability of the power adaptor. Sometimes you have power. Sometimes you dont. This is a big problem when you are trying to back up important files or even if your using it as an everyday drive. The feel and look of the unit is very cheap and not very nice to look at. The other downfall of this product is that it has no power button to turn it off. My conclusion is to look elsewhere if your in the market for an external hard drive. There are an amplitude of better drives out there. ...
