For Sale: Maxtor portable 300GB One Touch II External Hard Drive
Bye, bye...
Backing up isn't hard to do
External Backup Solution with Powerful Capabilities
The company has developed an interesting feature designed to let
computer users back up their files and folders with just the touch of a
button. And while it sounds easy to use, it's also just as easy to
setup. The One Touch II is the newest addition to Maxtor's very good,
external drive family.
The Maxtor One Touch drive
- just press the button and your files are
backed up in one, simple step.
It's simply the fastest backup.
Drive Lock Security
Maxtor offers a new Drive Lock feature for greater data protection. This
is a password protection scheme that can keep unauthorized users from
viewing sensitive data. Once the original user switches off the computer
or the drive is disconnected from the system, access to the drive will
be denied until the right user name and password are provided. This is
something extremely important for professionals and power users where
security is necessary.
Friendly Interface
The graphical interface for One Touch software has been redesigned by
Maxtor since the previous version, making setup and restore, drive
management and security settings a lot easier to manage.
Connection
Maxtor's One Touch II is easy to install, requiring only power and a USB
2.0 or Firewire connection.
Looks
The drive is made from high quality anodized aluminum and gives the
impression of a device that will last.
The One Touch II, features a handsome, rugged aluminum enclosure with a
single illuminated push-button on the faceplate. The push-button
activates the automated backup process.

Backing up isn't hard to do
Bye, bye...
When is the last time you backed up your important computer file or
images? Thought so. Most people have never done a backup of their files
for a variety of reasons. Many users complain that backing up is too
hard, too complicated, or too confusing until the day comes (and trust
me, at some point it will come) when a hard drive fails. Would you like
to start over from scratch after losing all your photos?
Backup used to be a royal pain. Floppy discs were slow and held very
little, and tape drives were expensive and difficult to work with. Few
people had CD/R drives, or, for that matter, a second hard drive. But
today, there are a number of fast, easy, and affordable options
available to keep a safe copy of your important work.
The simplest option for backing up files is often an external hard
drive. Available with USB 2.0 or FireWire connections, external hard
drives have the advantage of huge capacity, speed, and convenience.
Some, such as the Maxtor One Touch
portable hard drive, can start a backup when you press a button on the
external drive that starts a copy of files you’ve previously selected.
The Maxtor One Touch is available in capacities of up to 300 GB. The
Maxtor drives come with a copy of Dantz Retrospect, which I think is one
of the best backup programs available. You can configure Retrospect to
make copies of files, folders, or entire drives on a schedule that you
determine, such as every night at 2:00 A.M. By pressing the button on
the drive, you can start an immediate backup. And, as in most good
backup utilities, you can choose to back up only the files that have
changed and therefore greatly reduce the amount of time required to make
subsequent backups.
