Not very intuitive. Impossible to know if it has backed up anything. Get another device instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars As delivered, does not work with the Mac
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2007
I have an iMac G5 running OS 10.3.9. I found I only had permission to "Read" from the drive, which was useless. I contacted Maxtor/Seagate by e-mail and was assured that someone would reply within 1 business day. Seagate (which now owns Maxtor) finally replied 3 days later.

You can partition the hard drive so that you can actually use it, although it took me a while to figure out how to do it. Here are the basic steps. Launch Disk Utility. Select the highest level icon that represents the hard drive. It looks like a hard drive and will say Maxtor OneTouch.... Select partition. You can choose "1" if you don't really want to partition the disk. Name the partition(s), decide on the size of each, etc. Then select the partition button at the bottom right. Voila! You now have read/write privileges. You can now use the Backup software from Apple which is probably better than the OneTouch feature anyway.

I've been using this as a back up drive for over a year now .. I love it. Maxtor One Touch is an amazing brand .. they have since come out with newer versions of this same drive which I would imagine to be just as easy to use, efficient, and so helpful. The file transfers are easy drag and drop or other options which transfer files automatically. The only thing I would like to see is a sleeker, slimmer design.

I own several Maxtor OneTouch II and III (3.5") USB hard drives that I use for backup and have be quite happy with them.

This mini (2.5") drive is great! It is compact, lightweight, portable, requires only a USB cable and no power cable. It is reasonably fast for a USB drive. One thing to note, this drive gets it power over the USB cable. The drive comes with a "Y" cable which allows you to plug into two USB ports on our computer if for some reason the drive is not getting enough power using just one. I have not found it necessary to plug in to a second port on any of the computers I've used the drive on. I have tried several alternate USB cables. I found that there is a limit to the length of the cable with which the drive will work. 4 foot and shorter cables seem to work fine, most of the 6 foot cables I tried do not work. I believe that the drive is not getting enough power with the longer cables. Not a big deal, I ordered several 3 foot cables and leave them with each computer I use. Then I can just grab the drive and go.

I'm using it store photographs and my Photoshop Lightroom database. This allows me to move the photos and database between multiple computers, as Lightroom does not yet have the capability to import and export from it's database or merge two databases.

I can't wait for the 250 or 300 GB version of this drive to become available.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Portable Hard Drive Ever
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2007
This is my fifth portable (2.5") hard drive and by far the worst one. I bought this hard drive 2 months ago at BestBuy and compared to others (one WD Passport, three home-made with 2.5" internal drive and $10 enclosures), this one is EXTREMELY SLOW. Worst even, when you're using it every other program would be much slower; the CPU usage meter would not show why 'cause it's still at 2-3% usage. My computer is a reasonably fast system (Core 2 Duo E6300 with 2G memory for my desktop, T2300 with 1G memory for my laptop) but still suffers. No other portable hard drive, even the cheap home-made ones, have these problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars My computer has never been slower
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2008
I don't know what it is about the included software, but this really slows my system. Further, I always get a message that the backup failed. That is not very encouraging. However, when I check the drive, my files are there. The instructions with the software are not very good. Overall, I give it a "fair." It is relatively cheap and compact but fails to give me the "peace of mind" that I was hoping for when I bought it.

I live in Jamaica and was sceptical about buying a computer accessory over the internet cause it might get damaged. However i went ahead and bout the Maxtor one touch 3 hard drive from amazon. It is an excellent buy. I would reccommend it to every one. I have had it for about 3 weeks now and it works flawlessly. I have been a customer of amazon from the day they opened in 1996, but it is mostly books and cd's. I will be definately buying more electronics through them.
