Disadvantages: Larger than more modern alternatives, slightly noisy, brightly lit.

I bought this drive almost a year ago now, It does exactly what it says, looks reasonable and functions well - fast enough to run applications/games/movies and music from it is a perfect addition to any setup lacking memory.

Well worth the money. I was also very surprised when i got home and searched around for prices for this ... Read review

...the other end to the Maxtor box, follow on screen instructions for about five minutes installation time, then press the button on the front of the Maxtor to back up your files. The back up of all my music, photos, documents etc took about 4 minutes. Usually this takes me forever when I run my Norton back up. After this initial back up you can either remove the appliance or leave it plugged in (It powers itself from the computer) and back up according ... Read review
