Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo Edition 1TB Review
I4U News - Tech Reviews
Published on: 11/16/2006 10:03 AM
Maxtor is a major manufacturer when it comes to both internal and external computer hard drives. Maxtor was also bought by Seagate not too long ago. External hard drives are a great way for many users to add additional storage space without having to open up their computers. External drives are also ideal for users that might not have room internally on their computers for more hard drives. Up for review today is a whopper of an external drive coming in at 1TB of storage capacity and boasting multiple connectivity options as well. Mac users check it out, the Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo Edition 1TB is formatted out of the box for Mac use....read the full review

5 of 5 We have had 6 of these and 3 have gone bad! Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Very Unhappy from Boise Idaho  

We have 6 of these hard drive and had 3 of them go bad. Two were still under warrenty but the replacements they sent went bad too. One was replaced with a bad one that didn't work when we received it. My son and daughter-in-law bought one....it went bad and was replaced under warrenty with one that went bad and had to be replaced. DO NOT BUY ONE. Besides the headaches of having to recopy the data, there was also some data that was lost. Several thousand dollars thrown away!

1 of 5 Back-Up Data with This? Monday, August 25, 2008
A Customer from Old Lyme, CT  
I purchased this hard drive to back up my home office data and to archive family photos, movies, tax records. Great decision - in less than 18 months it began to act up. Luckily I moved about 300 GB (of about 800 GB) of data to another drive I was using as a back up to my Apple MacBook Pro, before it just started clicking and stopped responding entirely. I have tried various data recovery programs to no avail. There seems to be something physically/mechanically wrong with the mechanism and the longer it ran on one program the more bad blocks it made. Overall I think it is a really poor quality device. Have replaced it with a 2TB drive from Western Digital. No issues in 6 months but I am looking to buy another back up soon (have a Canon EOS 5D camera and take about 2 GB of photos every other week at family gatherings, which leads to collections of large, growing data storage needs in a few years).

5 of 5 Good unit all around Friday, November 30, 2007
JHRJ Productions www.jhrj.com from Ankeny, IA  
I have been using this unit for about 1 month now. We bought them for storage of digital video and media for our Videography business. So far not one problem. We originally formatted the drive for RAID 1 because the unit was to be a back up of our more portable drives. Then space was getting tight and we decided to format to RAID 0 with the Maxtor one touch program after we did so the Maxtor one touch program viewed the drive as 1 TB but Windows XP viewed it as 500GB still we had to go into windows disk management and reformat from there and then every thing was great we have a little over 700GB on it right now and it is going strong. So go ahead and buy away. We are using the unit on a Windows XP Media Center Edition. thru the USB 2.0 port.
