1 out of 5 stars Don't buy from this Seller.......2007-01-03

This was a refurbished drive and not what I was expecting. It proved impossible to contact the seller to return it. Don't buy from this flakey outfit.

4 out of 5 stars Good drive but go with Firewire or usb 2.0 instead.......2005-11-19

I use this as one of my backup drives on a Mac OSX machine. I actually have 2 backups one being redundant. When adding external drives to any Mac they should always be reformatted with disk utility. After I formatted them and started to use them they would crash my machine when they were both on. After talking to the Maxtor support it was determined that all I needed was a different type of driver that I accessed from their website. There is no such thing as a perfect brand of hard drive they all suffer from the same problems. I have known people who have had maxtors for over 10 years with no problems. sometimes you get a lemon and they crap out after 3 weeks. It happens to all of the manufacturers. The point of all this rambling is be vigilant! Do multiple backups of the things that are truly irreplaceable. Pictures should be archived to CD or DVD at least 2 times a year. All it takes is to lose the first 3 years of you children's life to pound this concept home. As for the hard drive you can choose any reputable brand and be reasonably certain that it will be OK. Just don't get USB 1.0 like I did because it took 38 hours to backup 100gig. You should buy the largest capacity that you can afford and go with Firewire or USB 2.0
Personally I don't use the Button or the retrospect software. I use Backup from apple, but I have heard it works just fine.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have!!!.......2005-09-15

I bought this backup drive after I nearly lost everything that I had on my laptop, and I couldn't be happier since. If you are a laptop owner like myself, then this is absolutely one item that you must have. First of all, laptop internal drives generally tend to be more expensive and less reliable, and second of all, you've simply got to protect whatever precious you might have on your personal computer. I almost lost all the pictures of my 1 year old daughter, and I am not taking any more chances. I have a wireless network setup in my house, so using this drive in connection with Linksys Network Storage Link NSLU2, I can send/retrieve files without been physically connected to the drive. It's totally awesome! I haven't noticed any problems with speed either. It also comes with Dantz Retrospect Express program that allows you to do your backups automatically. Nice little program which worked well so far for me. All together, a solid drive and a must have computer accessory.

1 out of 5 stars DRIVE FAILED. 18 Months old........2005-09-08

Here's my review: I won't be buying Maxtor again.

The drive failed within 18 months. Not sure if I'll recover the lost data. I've never had a drive fail, so this is very disappointing.

Moral of story: Find a better external hard drive company. It seems there are too many similar stories to convince me to buy Maxtor again.

2 out of 5 stars Reliable? A Backup Device Needs To Be.......2005-04-20

The hard drive crashed in my machine and I ended up replacing the entire computer and changing brands. I was going to buy the Maxtor A01B120 to use as a backup device until I canabalized my failed PC and noticed that the drive that crashed was a Maxtor! I spoke to friends and found they had similar problems.
