The unit is hot swappable, recognised as a plug and play, good for USB 2.0 and 1.1 and works on Mac OS 9.1 and up via USB and Firewire. Side mounting saves on physical storage space too. The operating sound level is whisper quiet. One grumble with my old Maxtor unit was the sound- overcome with this model. What matters is that external memory is coming down to an affordable price. The shifting price in memory is attributable to many factors- the advance of time, the impact of iPod and HDD MP3 devices on external hard drive prices. I've been more than happy with a 40GB Maxtor I picked up 18 months ago for about the same price as this 160GB- a quarter of the size and without the back up. This simple back up system is the unique selling point. The button is customisable to launch any application too. Obviously, there is the one touch back up button there too, but you don't have to use it.īundled in the box is the Dantz Retrospect Express software- this runs scheduled automatic backups to keep your main files safe. The drives lie flat or on one side, thanks to a slide on plastic brace. All units are housed within anodized aluminium casing, trimmed with coloured plastic (we like the blue). Bearing in mind the obvious differences in storage, the other attributes remain static across the range. Maxtor's range of One Touch Family external hard drives share the same features over various sizes from 60 up to 300 GB.
