Summary: Must have, dependable external drive
Review: Simple plug and play external disk. have being using it for the past one month -- no problems so far. Formatted the disk in NFTS format and using it from a XP and Win 2K boxes. The aluminum case does get *hot*. Ofcourse, how "hot" depends on the sensitivity of the person touching it. Comes with a Firewire & USB 2.0 cable ( which you can use with USB 1.1 port as well ). Overall highly recommend it.

Summary: Does not work with OS X Panther...
Review: The backup thing did not work in my 10.2 config. Then I upgraded to Panther, and still could not make it work. Cannot get any response from their tech support, so now it's just a simple (expensive) hard drive. I would probably go with a different brand next time.

Summary: Too Many Problems
Review: The first review was written before this unit was available, and the second couldn't get in touch with tech support, so be wary of all those stars. I purchased the unit and it would not install on Win98SE no matter what I did (I also couldn't get through to a support rep) It was pointed out to me that the blue and white color scheme of the Maxtor are the dated colors of the Imac, it makes one wonder just how old the plans and tech for this unit are... Finally after 48 hours of configuring, I got it up and running but it was much too slow at backing up media so I exchanged it for the Seagate 160 External, which is nearly perfect in comparison to the Maxtor and just what I wanted in an external drive

Summary: I Can't Live Without The Maxtor OneTouch! Saved $132k!
Review: The Maxtor OneTouch external drive has saved my life! I run a small business with 120 employees. We all save documents, contracts, pictures, and 'other files' to a central 150 gig drive. A year ago the hard drive crashed. As a small business owner I had to spend $132,000 in overtime to recreate the data since it was all lost in the crash (I was a dork for not backing up...!) I purchased the Maxtor OneTouch from Amazon! and use it to back up daily. Wouldn't you know it... a month ago the server hard drive crashed again (darn it!) BUTT this time I was able to restore ALL the data in one hour with ZERO overtime. This saved me and my company $132,000. I can't say enough. Buy one today!

Summary: Maxtor not spinning
Review: Within three months,with occasional use, the drive A01A250 stopped spinning and is not recognized by by computer. Maxtor tech support wants to replace my drive, but I want to recover the stored data. As the drive does not spin, it looks like I lost the data. The product is a piece of junk.
