Problems with Drive

Strengths: Size. RAID 1

Weakness: Maxtor. Dead after 1 month.

I have owned many Maxtor drives. Owning 6 Personal storage drives. All of them have died on both PC's and Mac. I felt safer buying this drive because it offers Raid 1. Thank goodness. One drive died. Maxtor did replace the drive and I was able to retain my data but I will never buy a maxtor again.

OneTouch III Turbo Edition 1TB External Hard Drive

Strengths: Space for 1 TB worth of files

My OneTouch III hard drive is so reliable. I can count on it to safely store 1 TB worth of documents especially confidential ones. This is because it has the power to store, back up and secure everything I put on it. It's a good investment on my part.

Maxtor OneTouch III Hard Drive - 1TB - 7200rpm -...

Strengths: raid1 you can sell it on ebay

Weakness: Not truly 1 TB, but rather 2 drives in one. That means occasional problems with drive recognition and yep, you guessed it overheating... Host of usb and firewire problems Either dead or dying right

Obviously whoever wrote the first review was a fake poster. C'mon, 1 tb worth of documents? You'll never need that much. More so a promotional gab. I bought this thinking that it would be competent. I was the fool.

The OneTouch III Turbo is different from LaCie's Big Disk Extreme, and this applies not only to its appearance. First of all, it has a real power switch at the back side, which helps to physically turn off the drive when needed; LaCie's product powers up as soon as you plug in a connector.
