This review is from: Maxtor F01E200 OneTouch III 200GB External Hard Drive USB 2.0 (Personal Computers)

Got a great deal from Staples, you can't pass it up for $99 plus free shipping. I saw other sites mention that the software causes crashing, lack of a driver or something, so I did not install the backup software. Just plugged it into a USB port turned it on and selected what files or directories I want backed up by using drag and drop. It's very fast, about 500Mb a second. Great for backing up stuff at work (Win XP Pro), at home (XP Home) and in the basement(Win 2000, Wing 98se).
Buy it for those Digital Pictures and Income Returns, all those MP3 files you paid .99 for. Forget about backing up to CD or DVD.
Get with the times!

Very good product-& it looks cool too. Very easy to set up. The one touch feature makes it very easy to keep your backup current. The system will even remind you if a new item has been added to the main hard drive, that you may want to backup. Very good product!
