1.0 out of 5 stars False advertising on Maxtor website, December 5, 2007
Tim (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maxtor OneTouch 4 Lite 250 GB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I had purchased this after reviewing the info on the Maxtor website. It showed this specific model and when you watched the flash demo it showed the 'safety drill' software for backing up the computer's operating system, which is what I needed.

Unfortunately, that was not included! I found this out after purchasing and looking for this software. It was misleading of their website to imply this is included, when it isn't. You have to buy the 'plus' version to get this, but their website flash demo never mentions this fact.

Within one month of purchase, the unit crapped out. Some folders cannot be open at all. Other folders, all the stored files were gone. The loss files will be really hard to replace, since I did not have additional backup for the backup. Maxtor OneTouch 4 Lite 500 GB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive This is not a reliable storage unit. I will not to store any more file to this unit from now on.

This review is from: Maxtor OneTouch 4 Lite 250 GB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I bought a OneTouch II drive new a couple years ago in order to use it as my backup drive for my laptop. I've done consistent backups over the last couple years and generally am able to fit about 8-10 restore points on the drive. I purchased it so that if my laptop hard drive ever died, I would be able to easily recover my data.

Well this was a mistake. After my laptop's hard drive died, 3 days have passed and I am still not able to restore my data. One problem is that I could not just download the software and driver's from Maxtor's website (which is now owned by Seagate). If I do that it just shows up as 'Unlicensed' and nothing works.

First I have to find my old CD that came with the drive and install that software. This software doesn't work because it just hangs there saying 'Updating status...' which their website is a known issue. The answer is to upgrade to Retrospect Express HD 1.1 (from 1.0). So I download that and install it. And it still says...Read more
