starsFailed suddenly when I needed it most
Like others, I have thought that this large once was used in order to support mine mac via the time machine. Until that it does not come to lack without warning and completely after three months of use. No warning, in effects a control of the disc has worked very well more soon in the week and is a drive publication. Which good it is a support that comes to lack without warning without warning when you have it need? They are sure that I will obtain the drive replaced under the guarantee, but if I will trust it never still and immediately I have not bought an other drive of support of marks.


starsSeagate one touch 4
Great product with effective software enabling you to back up your entire disk drive. This allows you to get back where you were "before the crash". I recommend one of the big ones, I got a 750GB model. This allows you to store thousands of songs, pictures, whatever in addition to the safety of having your drive backed up.


starsWhat I thought was great...
When I first got this I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. It worked great right out of the box! After a month I began to trust it...and was a little lazy about backing up, I admit. Then it crashed. It will be a pain to put all the data back it...But hey, I'm under warranty - of course, data recovery isn't part of the warranty - and cost 1,700! OMG. A great idea. But if you can't trust your hard drive, what good is it?


starsGreat Drive
This drive really works well for me Is fastly and reasonably calm (even if quiet how much the smallest 2,5 "portable HD). I have fixed to mine iMac via firewire and the use for video storage for my application of eyeTV the DVR therefore like for nightly the given rescues. I do not have editions of quality of the video that I watch the video from or that registry the video to this drive, that it says qualche.cosa of good approximately the relative performances. The application of reservoir of the mac that it comes with it is much good one also. It is extremely easy to use and much intuitivo. It even supports the coding of the relati to you supports. I suggest this drive.


starsGood but not perfect
The good ones: Picked and the speed writes is enough good for the supports and the storage of means and offers the connections of fireWire and the USB. Wide space. It quiets enough and -- however enough small enough small in order to transport within a bag of the laptop. The software has an pleasant interface. The software is of base, but I do not protest to such purpose because the supplement has not cost me. The software supports the cryptography, that you can use in order memorizzare the personal data. The Evil: Service of defective customer from the email. I have made one demanded of they and have obtained an answer cryptic that it has not answered to my question. You have not had more better need it. The enclosed CD of rescue will not load the system on my PC with the Gateway. It hangs before introducing it with a customer interface. That is disowned because my PC can hardly load the system the ndemnity with Knoppix and the CD of rescue is based on Knoppix. The driver of Windows of this product it does not support the standby. In exiting from the standby, the PC as soon as it freezes and it must be ciclata feeding. Without the drive it has connected, systems standby very well. The interface of firewire is to ribbons. To times it just operation of arrests. A digital product western them who the systems solidly via firewire.


starshorrible customer service
I purchased this product and backed up my entire hard drive. My computer crashed so I took it to the Mac Store. They put it a new hard drive and I was excited to load up my new drive from my external hard drive. This product was only 2 weeks old and it failed. I tried to get the Maxtor to help me and they immediately wanted me to pay $700-2000 for them to retrieve my data. I called back again and was given different information about a tech who would help me between certain hours. The tech would call at a specific time and walk me through the process and if that failed I could turn to "Michelle" in customer service who would solve my problems. The tech never called. I cannot reach Michelle. I was thrown back in customer service hell and left on hold for 40 minutes before being disconnected. No one at the company will help. I hired a Mac specialist to come to my home and try to fix the problem, but he was unable to detect the drive.

Total frustration. Everything is lost. I have called Maxtor 6 times already, and I'll be back at it on Monday. They do not have evening or weekend customer reps - so hope you do not have a job so that you will have the time to commit yourself fulltime Monday- Friday to dealing with this miserable company.


starsLove this external drive!
Much better drive than the failed 500GB Western Digital My Book drive I replaced with this Maxtor. Dual USB/Firewire interfaces, 750GB capacity and five year warranty are real pluses. Bundled backup software installs easily from drive itself but software functionality and feature set is fair at best compared to commercial packages like Symantec's Backup Exec System Recovery. While not a major consideration for me, this drive looks really cool. This drive does not have a power off/on switch so look elsewhere if that's a requirement for you (I leave my external drives powered on 24/7). This is my 5th Maxtor external drive and all have been better that numerous other brands and generics I have tried. Each Maxtor external drive generation seems to get better than its predecessor. I hope Seagate's purchase of Maxtor doesn't screw up their product line. Highly recommended if the bundled software isn't a major reason for your purchase.


starsMaxtor is just OK
Its a lot smaller than in the pictures, which is a plus. Its also really cool looking and study. But, it takes a while to find the files (even though I have it partitioned into two different drives) and you can hear it reving up and searching. It makes my G4 Mirror Drive Mac Tower do the spinning pinwheel thing, when locating files on the drive. I was going to use it for editing video, but I think I'll just use it as a big storage device now.

Other then it being too slow and dragging when its accessing files, it looks cool, has a lot of room and I only paid $199... so it was a great value.


starsLove it! Bought 2 of this!!!
I have bought the Maxtor a touch 4-Plus 750GB a month makes from BestBuy, I have it on 24x7, I love it therefore a lot that I have bought today according to from Amazon. I could buy the Maxtor a touch 4 750GB for $20 more than less, but I prefer the silver look of the cover of the Maxtor a surplus the all of touch 4-Plus in the black color of the Maxtor a touch 4. For: 1, Weight: Only 2,5 pounds for 750GB (free space real 698GB). 2, Format: Much thin one, does not take space of the scrittorio very. One is pleasantly based on my table of the base with mine laptop without to take to the space a lot. 3. Temperature: It is cooled off in order to touch even have it over 24 hours to the day, 7 days to the week. 4. Noise: A lot quiet. As soon as feels to work it. 3. Speed: A lot fastly. I can watch the large one lima of film directly outside of the hard drive without some hiccup or make to delay. Against: 1, Responsible s/w of Maxtor d of soccer to the start-up: Make to work the diversion that he will take the cure of the problem permanent. He has worked for me. 2. Light: The feeding light is one heads too much luminous. You cut a band of 2 that starter shaft-it notes (uses the sticky part) and the glue over a key of touch will resolve the problem. I have used the color viola starter shaft-it notes and it gives towards the external incandescence viola soft much pleasant one to the night.
