5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, 26 Jul 2004
By J. Page "J Page" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maxtor have produced a winner with this drive. Gb/£ it is one of the most cost effective storage solutions out there. But this is no clunky tape backup. Instead what you get is an attractive, minimalist design with tons of storage space. The brushed aluminium case contains a fast and extremely quiet hard drive that connects to your computer using either USB or Firewire (they supply you with both cables). The set up is a cinch and I really cannot find a single fault with this unit. On top of all that Maxtor provide something that I haven't seen in many years...a printed manual. I would give this device more than 10 stars if I could.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great solution when hard disk space is running out, 20 Jan 2004
By ArrGee (London UK) - See all my reviews
  
Having purchased my PC about a year ago, I had got to the point where I had almost filled my 160GB on the two disks (120GB/40GB). The problem was that I was suffering from a downgrade of performance, and couldn't defrag without deleting or saving the files externally. As I am in the midst of ripping my entire CD collection (35GB and counting), I needed to get some files off.

This little beauty solved the problem at a stroke. Cheaper than DVD+RW per GB, I was able to back up my machine as it stood, and still had half the disk left!

Having backed up a couple of very large video files (20GB each approx, though you need to format to NTFS first), I then ran them off the external drive and the performance was fine. Even when I dropped the drive onto the hard floor, it still worked!

Easy to set up, and good to look at as well! I suspect I will be back for another in a year's time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space and a lot of buffer, 12 Dec 2003
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
A hard disk is a hard disk? Right? No, wrong, some hard disks are loud, and often not as fast. Maxtor have come up with a very spaceous hard disk drive with pleanty of buffer (8MB) and one touch technology which will backup everything you've asked it to do. This is quite a good feature of such a large hard disk - and if you have a small hard disk in your PC or Mac, having this will give you a lot of storage. So if you have made DV films of your family, travel, or just footage you've captured, keeping it stored safe is no issue. Maxtor have done well here, it's a speedy drive with a good buffer, which will make running apps of this thing like a walk in the park. If you have a lot of data, I suggest you get one of these, as it'll make life much easier. Also you can backup your network server and put this in a safe, making it a perfect solution to backup. At £250, this is £1 / GB, which is excellent value. Connectivity through USB2 and FireWire make this a speedy drive. Go get yours now.
