Maxtor intros OneTouch II FW/USB 2 drive 09/20/2004 03:00 PM
Maxtor introduced on Monday the OneTouch II external drive, which features one button that activates Dantz Retrospect Express and performs a data back-up based on the user's pre-selected preferences. The OneTouch II features FireWire and USB 2.0 interfaces, 7200 rpm with a 16MB cache, 250GB (US$329.95) or 300GB ($379.95) capacities, DriveLock for password-protecting its contents, the ability to use it as a boot drive and more. Maxtor noted that additional drive capacities will be rolled out later in the year. System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.1.2, v10.2.4 or v10.3 or higher with 128MB RAM.

Maxtor OneTouch II 09/23/2004 07:12 AM

Maxtor has a new version of their external hard disk and backup solution, the OneTouch II. Available in 250GB or 300GB versions (7200RPM, 16MB cache, FireWire, USB 2.0), the new drives will come bundled with Dantz Retrospect backup software that should allow you to retain a series of incremental backups with history, so that if you'd like to retrieve an older version of a document - like say from a couple weeks back - you can pull up the older version even if you've made multiple changes. As the drive fills up, it will start axing older versions to free up space.

There's also a DriveLock feature which password protects the contents of the drive if it is powered down, but it's not clear if this could just be defeated by removing the drive itself from the chassis or if all the data is saved in an encrypted form at all times (I suspect the former).

CHKDSK and Maxtor OneTouch

CHKDSK and Maxtor OneTouch 02/07/2005 01:08 AM

I had a bad file on my Maxtor OneTouch drive so I ran XP's error correction tool on the drive.  But since then the laptop to which I usually connect the drive slowed down drastically to a point where the laptop was rendered useless and a source of noise as well (it's two fans were on all the time).

Typical solutions on XP slowdown didn't fix the problem but, when pulled the drive as well as the USB adapter (the laptop came with only USB 1.0 support) and rebooted, the problem disappeared.  Reconnecting the drive made the problem appear again.  Since there wasn't any process that was causing the CPU load, I think it was something related to the drive at the driver level.

Now the drive is connected to my desktop and seems to be working just fine.  I'll just have to remember not do check the drive for errors.  Backup storage you can't check for errors makes no sense but 250G is 250G.

Both drives do a fine job of simplifying backup and providing external storage space. The ABSplus is a focused backup device that's easy to use, right out of the box, for backup and restoration, whereas Maxtor's cheaper and quieter drive is better for people who want extra disk space and more backup flexibility.

Neowin Review: Maxtor DiamondMax 10
250GB Hard Drive

Neowin Review: Maxtor DiamondMax 10
250GB Hard Drive 03/28/2005 12:38 PM
After our very own Tom Graham reviewed some <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27461&category=ma in" target="_Blank">portable</a> <a href="http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=27605&category=ma in" target="_Blank">hard</a> <a href="http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=296533" ; target="_Blank">drives</a>, today we'll have a look at a Desktop counterpart by Maxtor. The massive <b>250GB DiamondMax 10</b>. As large hard drives are becoming of an increased importance, we will also cover a small guide so you know what to look for when buying a new hard drive.
<ul>After plugging everything in, the drive was visible to my onboard Promise RAID/SATA Interface controller&#8217;s BIOS. In here, you can setup the &#8220;bootability&#8221; of drives and decide whether you want your hard drives to work in a RAID environment or simply to work alone; I decided to skip the RAID options and work alone. Maxtor offer a setup of tools to help you format the drive; MaxBlast, a piece of hard drive management software for Windows by Maxtor, for Maxtor drives.

The first thing you may notice, or not, is the noise level of the hard drive while in operation &#8211; it is, to say the least, very quiet. I found noise only noticeable whilst doing sustained file transfers between itself and my DiamondMax 9. I felt the drive was probably about twice as quiet as the DiamondMax 9; serious credit to Maxtor&#8217;s &#8220;Quiet Drive&#8221; technology, the Fluid Dynamic Bearings, and the fact that the spindle runs at 7,200 RPM (Western Digital has a line of hard drives running at a noisy 10K RPM).</ul>
Will this massive drive keep up to par with the other drives available? Namely the 10K RPM Western Digital Raptor drives? On to the review...

The FireWire/USB Hard Drive With USB,
UDH-UEH400 03/23/2005 04:53 AM

IO Data Device has come up with another hum-dinger. If you were to put an enormous hard drive inside a USB 2.0/FireWire casing, give it some blue LEDs, and add a USB port, you'd end up with the 400GB "UDH-UEH400." Not only does it connect by USB (or FireWire), but it has a USB port. If you're like me and have a single USB port on your computer, you certainly wouldn't want it being taken up by just a hard drive. Yeah, I know daisy chaining has been around for years and years with SCSI (and thus FireWire, its distant cousin), but I think this is one of the first applications of it I've seen in USB form. Somehow, it can even recognize USB devices if you connect the drive by FireWire. Don't ask me how that works; I didn't realize something like that was even possible.
