good product and fast shipment.......2007-12-18
I order this product on November 13 2007 and i choose 7 to 10 day shipment and i receive this product the next day wow how sweet was that. the best seller ever and not mention the shipment
Never received.......2007-12-15
It is kind of hard for me to tell you how this hard drive performs since I ordered it from J&R Music and Computers back in August and NEVER RECEIVED IT!!! They took my money right away, but after several initial communications, I can not even contact them anymore. Not even sure if they are still in business. I ordered this product while I was deployed to Iraq. J&R says it was shipped, but have not provided any proof of this or provided me with the hard drive I paid them for 5 months ago. NEVER buy anything from J&R MUSIC AND COMPUTERS. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF.
Works pretty well and is quite fast.......2007-10-09
This external HD is really good, just a squeemish below five stars. Easy to setup and easy to use. Although I don't use its own software to make my back ups, using it as a regular pen-like flash drive is superb. Just turn it on, plug the firewire and drag and drop your data to have it safe. Also, it's portable, another plus!
Drive Failure after 6 Months.......2007-09-28
This has been a great drive until it failed. I use the Maxtor strictly to back up my system each evening. After several months I noticd an occasional loud grinding noise coming from the drive. Eventually it made the grinding noise all the time - sounded like an electric pencil sharpener. Anyway, I informed Mxtor/Seagate. Their warranty records were good. They offer an option where for $20 they send a replacement drive to me and I can send my old drive back in the same shipping container. It has taken a couple weks for a replacement drive to come in stock. I just received word today my replacement is on its way. It's een frustrating having to wait so long to back up my system. Fortunately,because it's a backup, data loss is not an issue for me. I hope this review helps you make a decision.
Extra Storage / Backup.......2007-09-21
I received this product and set it up to backup my 500 GB hard drive. It works great and I would use it in other areas as well. Nice and easy to use .

Maxtor...I mean Seagate is worthless!!!.......2007-10-26
I purchased the 500GB one touch III about six weeks ago, and 2 days ago it produced the same problem everyone else is talking about. The only difference being that I can't even get the drive to power up now. I have purchased another drive of the same model, but to no avail so I returned it. The only options I have left are to send it back to Maxtor for one of their replacement drives and pay $1700 to have the files recovered, or I can crack the case and buy an external casing to put the SATA drive in. Obviously I am going to try the second option, but that means I run the risk of producing futher damge, and also void any warranty. This seems like a horrible place to be, and Seagate is in now way taking responsiblity for this obvious manufacturing defect. BTW, if anyone has suggestions on how to safely transfer a drive let me know.....
Died after only 9 months.......2007-09-29
I've bought this hard drive in January 2007. It worked OK until September 07, when it just died. It was not on most of the time, I've switched it on for few minutes once every few weeks when I had new digital photos, so overall it probably did not work more than a couple of hours.
Software bug can turn your computer into a doorstop.......2007-09-17
I saw this drive for $109 at my local office supply store, so I thought I'd try one. I should have searched the Web for "maxtor onetouch problems" first.
After about 5 hours work, the drive is working fine. Along the way, I discovered several tips which are not in Maxtor's (now Seagate's) knowledgebase. First, setting the backup schedule to "never" while leaving automatic backups to "on" puts the driver into an infinite loop which will completely disable your computer--even if you then disconnect the drive and reboot. So if you want to just do backups by pushing the button, set automatic backups to "off" and leave the backup schedule set to every day. Second, real-time virus scanning will slow the software down to about one file per second. It is essential to disconnect from the net and disable your antivirus software before starting a backup. Finally, the USB connection seems to work much more reliably than the Firewire connection. If you have Firewire problems, the manufacturer's troubleshooting guide will have you connect the drive via USB, so you might as well start with USB.
On the positive side, backups are performed as file-by-file copies. That's infinitely better than backups that go into a compressed database, should you be concerned about backup integrity or recovery of individual files.
DO NOT BUY THIS!.......2007-08-16
When looking for a larger storage solution I asked friends in IT departments what they use and this drive came recommended to me as being good. Unfortunately that hasn't been my experience. I ordered one from an online seller and it arrived DOA. Not five minutes after unpacking and connecting I was calling Maxtor only to learn that the unit was defective. Not having learned my lesson, I bought another one and now after only 6 months use, it's died with my data lost. That info will never be retrieved and I'm sure your info is valuable enough to you that you don't want to be in this position so DO NOT BUY THIS DRIVE!
3 weeks later...
Well, this review column is turning into a blog for me. After the last Maxtor hard drive died they promptly sent me a refurbished model. I set it up roughly 3 weeks ago and now it's making strange noises. After another call to Maxtor/Seagate, it looks like this one's on its way to Hard Drive Heaven. I have yet to encounter such a poor product as this hard drive and it's consistent failure. Let's hope the fourth one's a charm. To their credit, Maxtor/Seagate have agreed to replace this model with a Seagate hard drive. The support team there has been very accomodating but I wish I didn't need their support so regularly. My advice to anyone considering buying one of these Maxtor One Touch 3 drives is to look elsewhere.
it sucks big time..do not buy if you own vista.......2007-06-13
it has been a nightmare since i bought this product to make it work with vista..its a dog, stay away

Nice Drive!.......2007-10-10
The drive performs as promised, although I've had little time to test it as I just set up my new computer a couple days ago. Time will tell, but I already have a 100Gb Maxtor drive which has been great.
Slowish, White LEDs bright and distracting.......2007-09-04
OK, to be fair, I've only had it a day. The backup software is so-so, the drive is kinda slow and the LEDs that show functioning of the drive are totally distracting in anything other than a brightly lighted room.
Everything about it seems a bit clunky, so I am only going to use it for weekly backups and still put all my images and data on Gold CDRs until I can afford a proper RAID.
At least it is quiet...
Bought it very cheap as a tool to migrate from XP to Vista, so if it dies in a short period, it will have served its purpose...
Maxtor T01G750 750 GB OneTouch III External .......2007-07-17
Good Product but some installation issues with the drivers: Not compatible @ 100% with vista. The Back-up interface is not compatible with Vista.
If You purchase it, DO NOT Install the Provided Drivers. Plug-in directly and let Vista find the Drivers for you or just install the Hard Drive as classic removable disk.
We have to wait 100%-compatible-drivers from Seagate to use the provided Back-up fonctionnalities
went dead within 10 days.......2007-06-13
This is my 8th Maxtor HD. I was very happy with the prior seven HDs (160GB, 250GB, two 300GB, and three 500GB). I am still useing the first generation 160GB and 250GB drivers for the video capturing purpose because they appear to have the least drop frame issue. Recently, I decided to migrate my 16 year worth family video to this 750GB driver to save space. I bought the drive about 10 days ago and migrated 450GB of the video files onto it immediately. Today, when I tried to turn it on for the second time, I found it is dead. The white LED blink for a second then went blank. Now I have a much more serious problem than returning it to the retailer. I lost all of my family videos. Many of them simply have no backups elsewhere. This is the first Maxtor that lets me down, once and for all. Follow up: Maxtor's warrenty does not include the data recovery. Optional data recovery costs $1,000 extra.
Very good Hard disk drive.......2007-05-12
I hear about some problems on this disks but for me works perfect, ideal for storage all my music video library, I recommend this product with no problems.
