Maxtor...I mean Seagate is worthless!!!.......2007-10-26
I purchased the 500GB one touch III about six weeks ago, and 2 days ago it produced the same problem everyone else is talking about. The only difference being that I can't even get the drive to power up now. I have purchased another drive of the same model, but to no avail so I returned it. The only options I have left are to send it back to Maxtor for one of their replacement drives and pay $1700 to have the files recovered, or I can crack the case and buy an external casing to put the SATA drive in. Obviously I am going to try the second option, but that means I run the risk of producing futher damge, and also void any warranty. This seems like a horrible place to be, and Seagate is in now way taking responsiblity for this obvious manufacturing defect. BTW, if anyone has suggestions on how to safely transfer a drive let me know.....
Died after only 9 months.......2007-09-29
I've bought this hard drive in January 2007. It worked OK until September 07, when it just died. It was not on most of the time, I've switched it on for few minutes once every few weeks when I had new digital photos, so overall it probably did not work more than a couple of hours.
Software bug can turn your computer into a doorstop.......2007-09-17
I saw this drive for $109 at my local office supply store, so I thought I'd try one. I should have searched the Web for "maxtor onetouch problems" first.
After about 5 hours work, the drive is working fine. Along the way, I discovered several tips which are not in Maxtor's (now Seagate's) knowledgebase. First, setting the backup schedule to "never" while leaving automatic backups to "on" puts the driver into an infinite loop which will completely disable your computer--even if you then disconnect the drive and reboot. So if you want to just do backups by pushing the button, set automatic backups to "off" and leave the backup schedule set to every day. Second, real-time virus scanning will slow the software down to about one file per second. It is essential to disconnect from the net and disable your antivirus software before starting a backup. Finally, the USB connection seems to work much more reliably than the Firewire connection. If you have Firewire problems, the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide will have you connect the drive via USB, so you might as well start with USB.
On the positive side, backups are performed as file-by-file copies. That's infinitely better than backups that go into a compressed database, should you be concerned about backup integrity or recovery of individual files.
DO NOT BUY THIS!.......2007-08-16
When looking for a larger storage solution I asked friends in IT departments what they use and this drive came recommended to me as being good. Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience. I ordered one from an online seller and it arrived DOA. Not five minutes after unpacking and connecting I was calling Maxtor only to learn that the unit was defective. Not having learned my lesson, I bought another one and now after only 6 months use, it's died with my data lost. That info will never be retrieved and I'm sure your info is valuable enough to you that you don't want to be in this position so DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!
3 weeks later...
Well, this review column is turning into a blog for me. After the last Maxtor hard drive died they promptly sent me a refurbished model. I set it up roughly 3 weeks ago and now it's making strange noises. After another call to Maxtor/Seagate, it looks like this one's on its way to Hard Drive Heaven. I have yet to encounter such a poor product as this hard drive and it's consistent failure. Let's hope the fourth one's a charm. To their credit, Maxtor/Seagate have agreed to replace this model with a Seagate hard drive. The support team there has been very accomodating but I wish I didn't need their support so regularly. My advice to anyone considering buying one of these Maxtor One Touch 3 drives is to look elsewhere.

best little speaker for the money.......2007-05-14
Simply put I love my Axiom M22ti bookshelf speakers. I moved from an older pair of energy veritas 2.1s to them as my main right and left and was blown away by the seemless transition for a speaker 1/3 the cost. They match my maple cabinets in the room much better and sound fine.

Customer Reviews:
Great for off-site storage.......2007-11-15
I use this rugged drive for off-site storage of my important data (music, pictures, documents). Works as designed, small size is great for moving off-site.
No external power needed = bonus.
The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I've only been able to get Vista to recognize it with the included USB cable. Two other USB cables from other manufacturers don't work with it.
