Rating:  - Good Drive So Far (except for the Power Adapter)
I've been using this drive with a Powerbook G4 and an eMac for one year. After about a month, the power adapter died. I actually wonder if others here have experienced this problem and instead thought it was the drive itself. In any case, they sent a replacement after a quick phone call, and that replacement showed up within a day or two. Since then, it's been working fine (knock on wood). Also, I've found it to be a fairly quiet drive except when first turned on, when it always makes a loud sound ... Read More
Rating:  - Doesn't Do Its Job!
One major purpose for an external hard drive is to back up the files you want to make sure you have in case your computer crashes. Well, mine did just that. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my Maxtor drive, right? Not quite. Some of the files that I had selected for backup were there, but where are the others? Somehow this unit picks and chooses which items it is actually going to backup, or at least it doesn't back up everything that I selected. And there is plenty of room on the drive. ... Read More
Rating: - Maxtor products SUCK!!
OK. I'm on my 3rd Maxtor now...if not for the 1yr replacement warranty I would have gotten something else...but each time, it starts with a clicking sounds and then rusty drive sounds, and then it stops appearing as a drive on my computer...each time I had to send back the damn thing, I've lost EVERYTHING up to 500GB of data (eg. music collection, photo collection, movies collection, etc...). The return policy is efficient but who cares for that when you've lost everything that is valuable on that ... Read More
Rating: - Worst Maxtor Product I've Owned
I have owned several Maxtor external drives including OneTouch versions I and II, and they are all still alive and well after years of use. These drives are the first totally unreliable products I have ever owned from Maxtor (now Seagate).
I bought my first one in January 2008, and it failed in March. I got that one replaced under warranty and bought a second unit to back up the data on the first. (What are the odds that you would have a second failure on a Maxtor or Seagate product?)

Rating:  - Not a reliable product
I am currently into one year with my drive bought from Fry's electronics. The Maxtor is starting to make more grinding noise and vibrations from a cold start up ... being switched off a period of four days.
This was a cheap drive and seem to be a bargain, but if you use the HD to back up data ... then make sure this Maxtor has something to back it up for sure. Don't use it as a final reliable back up device. Spend the money and get something built to server quality. Not the Maxtor products.
