Summary
We liked Maxtor's 5000DV external FireWire/USB 2.0 hard drive in our review of it last year, however, many users complained of drive failures that we did not experience. Maxtor seems to have made dramatic improvements to their new line of external drives and appears to have been paying attention to consumer feedback.
The One-Touch series of drives are great for storing large amounts of data including music and movies and should prove to be a valuable asset to any multimedia enthusiasts.
With the included FireWire ports, you can stack a large amount of these drives on top of each other without having to worry about heat issues, and the auto power down feature will help ensure that these drives last a long time.

“My new 750GB Maxtor One Touch died after 3mos of very light use -- first a grinding noise when I turned it on. I was stupid and turned it off -- bad luck, it would not boot up again.I've had great luck with earlier (and smaller) Maxtor drivers, but the...” More...

“I got one and after 10 months its starts to grind once switched on. The grinding would disappear, but what does that mean? Something is on the way out. I'd avoid the Maxtor products unless you've got no choice.” More...
