External Hard Drive/Backup SolutionThe One Touch 4 Plus from Maxtor is a USB2 and Firewire 400 external hard drive (with different capacities up to 1 TB), preloaded with backup and recovery software, including Backup and OneTouch Manager, and the SafetyDrill Recovery CD. Not only does the OneTouch 4 Plus provide backups (and it reminds you to do your backup too), data storage, and protection for your files, it also protects your entire computer system in case of disaster. In case of a system crash or virus attack, the Maxtor SafetyDrill feature automatically creates a snapshot of the entire contents of your computer’s hard drive which can be readily booted for a quick recovery. PC and Mac compatible.
For a portable solution, the One Touch 4 Mini (USB2 external hdd) offers capacities of 80 to 250GB. USB-powered, small form factor, and light-weight (6 ounces only).
