Maxtor One Touch III 200GB External Hard Drive

[ianhawdon]

I'd bet the Maxtor would crap out before your primary device... unless, of course, your primary device is a Desk/Deathstar ;-)

[scaleop4]

there is another video on you-tube were the same ( maxter ) external drive failed.

so dont buy one unless you like to keep your data.

[the731272]

the first thing he said applied to the 1 touch 3 1 touch 1 death maxtor guarantee

[krssnoop]

3 years later 200gig's nothing

[MelWellmanTV]

MAXTOR SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[matt828x]

holy fuck your intense

[irulethe70s]

just dont get a maxtor that easy

[envisionelec]

I've got a 1TB Maxtor SS NSA - it had nothing on it and it failed in 3 weeks. Total POS.

[pinkjessuk85]

mine is failing right now, i'm a photographer...Maxtor may have just ruined my lifes work... i may be only 24 but i took some god damn awesome photos in my time

[thebookwormh2o]

TWO OF THEM DAMN DRIVES FAILED ON ME O. One yesterday and the other one 3 weeks ago. WHY LORD. WHY?????? I got one in the freezer right now and see what that does.

[brianchris4]

wait.. so it rolls a corrupt version of windows back to a version that works but keeps all of the current stuff.. im sorry, what? thats kinda pointless if one of the CURRENT files caused a problem and you are unaware of it

[sanfransardine]

Ummm, maxtor has a high failure rate, why would you buy this as a backup when you can't trust it?

[fselfish]

MIne failed last night this drive SUCKS!!!!!!

[maxtornogood]

Well I have to wonder how much of that 18 billion is from Maxtor drives?

Great concept, crappy drives.

Maxtor sucks ;)

[tsusurfanami]

AVOID MAXTOR. I lost 250 GB of data because of my external drive. It failed only after about 7 months of use. Now I got a Hitachi internal drive and it's fast and hasn't failed... yet.

[GRUMPY92105]

OH K WICH ONE DO YOU RECOMMEND ME? TO KEEP ALL THE MUSIC ON A 200GB External Hard Drive?

[dcopley51]

This drive is crap. Don't buy, it will fail and you will lose all your data.

[GRUMPY92105]

OH K WICH ONE DO YOU RECOMMEND ME? TO KEEP ALL THE MUSIC ON A 200GB External Hard Drive?

[Fraznor]

At first I thought that negative notes were from clueless users.

BUT google onetouch maxtor reviews and you will find that the onetouch maxtor

is BAD news.

[furlan027]

you lost your 30 gb coz ur dumb.. first handle it with care.. it depends on how u use it.. maxtor rocks.. it is owned by seagate,, buy one.. i prefer the maxtor one touch 4 mini.. very fast when u write files.. my 10 GB files write for about 9:44 mins with maxtor

[GRUMPY92105]

OH K WICH ONE DO YOU RECOMMEND ME? TO KEEP ALL THE MUSIC ON A 200GB External Hard Drive?

[dcopley51]

Grumpy. All drives are subject to failure, therefore there is risk with any decision. It is just that Maxtor has an extremely high failure rate. Look at other brands.

[callmewilson]

I lost 30GB of data thanks to maxtor.

[girotube]

LOLOL! MAXTOR! You must be an idiot to trust your files to a maxtor HD!

Just don't plug it to your PC for a long period of time or you'll be sorry!

Plug it BACK UP then run and unplug the thing and put it away!

OR BY A WD and forget about it!!

[SPACEDMADNESS42]

maxtor is a drive for suckers, your a sucker if you buy one, you want to burn your stuff to dvd like a pro. maxtors crash in a couple years

[callmewilson]

MAXTOR - CRAPSTER MORE LIKE :)

Very Bad Hard Drives

[bubblen006]

my external maxtor hard drive 300 gig just crashed.... ITS EXTERNAL and it just clicks... I just used it for back up, now my son's birth, and other important pictures videos are gone...

[Lostfaith1980]

Mines has just died as well. After 4 years. 300GB worth of data lost. Stuff I had collected over years. All gone. Though it only happened AFTER I updated my DVD/RWs' firmware. I tried a system restore but since my comp cant recognise my Maxtor drive anymore thats obviously not going to work.

So I'm screwed but i've contacted Seagate Data Recovery Services and see if they can recover some of the data and wont charge me a stupid price. Waiting on their quote to come through.

[certifiedgmane]

how do i install 2 hard drives in one pc?

[cm0694]

you put it on a raid of 2

[certifiedgmane]

KK THX!!

[bluedeath87]

can i use that stuff on my ps3

[crosslakebum]

i normally buy from newegg but like the blog idea. don't know if i will buy from tigerdirect or not because of this but it might.

[califasio]

i already have a 500gb western digital external hard drive and today i bought a 300gb maxtor because i need it for my digital life!!

[garystanky]

Maxtor hard drives are awful. I bought two one touch III, and in less than a year, they are both dead. Maxtor will not stand behind them. These drives are cheaply made and not trustworthy. Trust me, don't buy these - you will lose your data.

[Ricky1zPocoLocoAye]

@garystanky same happened to me, I bought a back-up to replace the hard drive and transfer it to a completely new one

[Dragon2sword]

yeah I keep all my stuff on an external, awesome piece of kit

[PCguy101]

I keep all my files on an 250GB external drive. its one of the best things i ever bought. (besides my computer)

[godoggygo88]

I keep all my photo's and music and movies on my External and on my 500GB SATA Hard Drive.
