4.0 out of 5 stars Requires 2 USB ports, April 16, 2007

This review is from: Maxtor One Touch III Mini Edition 120GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I am generally satisfied with this drive - it seems to function as advertised. However, at least on my 17" G4 Powerbook, the bus does not provide enough power from one USB port, so there is a second USB cable that you must plug into your other USB port. Not exactly ideal to have all my USB ports used up by one drive, but that's my only complaint (this is the first bus-powered drive I have purchased, so I don't know if this is standard or not).

5.0 out of 5 stars Big, but small..., July 1, 2007
This review is from: Maxtor One Touch III Mini Edition 120GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I recently purchased this external HDD, and I've been nothing but pleased with it (execpt for one or two things, more on that in a bit). It's small, light weight, and has tons of storage. It's as great as an HDD can get.

One gripe I have (a minor one, at that) is the lack of Vista drivers on the included software on the HDD itself. This is understandable, however, since this product was probably manufactured when Windows Vista was first released.

Another gripe is about the USB cable. I don't mind the fact that it is a dual USB cord, but it's slightly unweildly, and sort of clumsy to use. The Mini plug is inserted into the HDD, the red USB port half way down the cable is inserted into a USB port, and if you are unable to use the drive due to power limitations, you can plug the other end of the USB cable (black) into a free port. It'd be nice if it were a detachable option, but that makes it less easy to lose, I suppose.

Other than those two minor things, this drive works great. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Think twice before buying this drive!, October 15, 2007
By 
DMP (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maxtor One Touch III Mini Edition 120GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I had the One Touch II Mini for a little over one year, then the USB port actually came loose and fell into the drive itself (just after the product came out of warranty of course, so no replacement) rendering it useless. Maxtor/Seagate "offered" to recover the data... for MINIMUM of $700!!

POS drive as far as I'm concerned, with horrible tech support to boot. Now I'm stuck with a paperweight that contains all my backup info. Stay away from this product if you're looking for a reliable drive. I'll never buy from them again.
