Maxtor One Touch 160 MBStrengths: Ease of use & included Retrospect Software Weakness: Drive failed after 15 months I used the Maxtor One Touch 160 MB as a backup device. It has saved me several times, mostly from accidentally deleting or overwriting files. However, without warning, it failed today. Luckily, I have not lost any data. Not sure if I am going to replace it with Maxtor (for convenience) or move on to another manufacturer.

Maxtor OneTouch 300 GB External Hard Drive - 1 Pack...Strengths: None Weakness: Malfunctions Even Before The Warranty Is Up !!!!!!! DO NOT BUY !!!!!!! I wish I had read these reviews before buying this piece of junk !!! I used this to back my system up to upgrade to Windows XP. Wanted to do a clean install and have a back up to use. My computer's hard drive is about 5 years old. I thought recently I should copy My Pictures back to my computer, but never really got around to it. After all this thing is only 5 Months old and my...

I'm sooooo sorry I trusted all my pictures/music to...Strengths: ? Weakness: Totally unreliable I spent $300 so I would never again have to worry about losing all my pictures/music and everything that's dear to me. After my PC crashed a few months ago, none of my backup restore points were recognized by the software that comes with. A 3rd party tool could see all the data on the drive but it was useless. Maxtor "customer service" said it probably happened because I unplugged the thing????...

Maxtor OneTouch 300 GB External Hard Drive - 1 Pack...Weakness: Drive completely failed within first 6 months It was too easy to unload excess files from my computer to my Maxtor back up drive not realizing that when the Maxtor drive failed, I would lose all my important data. Yes, Maxtor will exchange my failed unit for a replacement, but that doesn't rescue my data! Recovery has been quoted at $1000 to $2700. (Isn't it revealing that the customer service reps at Maxtor have a handy list of data...

Maxtor OneTouch 300 GB External Hard Drive - 1 Pack...I completely agree with the last reviewer. I bought my Maxtor last year. Its worked wonderfully RIGHT TO THE POINT IT DIED! Don't buy these dogs - they do lull you into a false sense of dependability - then WHAM! 250GB down the tubes...

Maxtor OneTouch 300 GB External Hard Drive - 1 Pack...Weakness: Failure with no recovery. I've had 3 of these pieces of junk and 3 sudden failures around the one year mark. These things will lull you into a fall sense of confidence and all of a sudden they will fail within hours with no advance sign of trouble. I lost my last backup today and felt the need to write a review to warn others. Just buy an extra internal hard drive or go with a different brand.

250GB Drive Failure After 13 MonthsStrengths: Quick drive. Has both USB and Firewire ports (on my model). Weakness: It died. As others have said, the drive worked flawlessly until the day it died. I should have suspected something to be amiss when my defragger couldn't access a folder and claimed that the FOLDER was unformatted -- I'm an EE and I've never seen that type of error before! I (stupidly) cycled power on the drive in an attempt to rectify the problem. I should have copied the data from the drive when I had a...

Maxtor OneTouch 300 GB External Hard Drive - 1 Pack...Weakness: Drive Failure I had a dying internal Hard Drive. I purchased the maxtor external drive to backup everything before the internal drive failed. I managed to backup about 3/4 of my stuff to the Maxtor drive before the internal drive failed. 2 Days later the Maxtor External Drive failed! Maxtor said This is common in new drives and I should not rely on their drives for backup and should always backup to CD or... Advertisement

Never again
Strengths: *lol*
Weakness: Failure rate Unreliable performance
Having started at a new company, I was impressed to see employees' PCs having an external drive attached for backup purposes. There are about 20 or so scattered throughout, and I was very glad to know users were responsible for their data's protection. I told a friend of mine about this, and he started to laugh. Out loud even! He told me that at his (much) larger corporation they too had...
