  • Fast write speeds; comes with backup and restore software; compact size makes it easy to tote around; generous warranty.
  • Restore software doesnt work with Macs; backup software is too basic for power users.
  • The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is a great option for working on the go, with fast write speeds as well as backup and restore software.

  • Small form factor. Comes with usable dual-head cable. Includes "bare metal" disaster-recovery utility. Comes with Mac OneTouch utility. Five-year warranty.
  • Needs extra power for some notebooks. SafetyDrill doesnt work with Macs or FAT32 drives.
  • With utilities for both data backup and catastrophic failure backups, this is the portable drive you want if you are running a Windows XP or Vista PC with NTFS-formatted drives....

  • Small Fast Fantastic software package
  • No syncing between XP and Vista No boot disc ISO on the drive
  • Maxtor has hit it out of the park with the One Touch 4 Mini as far as we’re concerned. It’s easy to stick a notebook hard drive into a chassis, but it’s much more difficult to create intuitive, useful backup and security software to go w...

  • Runs cool and very quiet, Respectable performance, Software is easy to use and provides useful features, SafetyDrill provides simple system recovery solution, Protect your data with password protection and/or encryption, Easy setup
  • Paying a premium if you dont intend to use the software, Probably not enough disk space to use all software features at once
  • There are many options out there when it comes to external hard drives, so it is difficult to get too excited about any of them unless they do something really special. While the 80GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini looks good, works well, and is easy to use, w...

  • Very small, Lightweight, High storage capacity, No need for additional power (uses power from USB bus), Included software makes backing up easy...
  • May need a powered hub if the computer you are using cannot power the drive....
  • The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini has a lot of things that really make it an attractive buy, but most are not what you look for in a typical hard drive. Instead of blazing speed and low CPU usage, the OneTouch offers extreme portability because of its small ...

  • Abstract:  A clever, convenient little drive that you can carry around with you in your pocket. Several of this month’s drives have identical specs on paper, but our tests showed the Maxtor, Seagate and Buffalo drives to be better performers than the rest ...

  • It can perform a full restore of the system, encrypts backup, easy to use
  • Only keeps a synchronised copy of whats been backed up and not the files that have been deleted off your system The Final Word As an external hard drive the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus storage drive is solid, but add in the backup features of the OneTouch ...
