MUMBAI: Maxtor Corporation announced today a new family of Maxtor OneTouch III external storage and backup solutions for home users, creative professionals and business executives.
Starting this month, the line of Maxtor OneTouch III storage solutions, with capacities from 100GB to one terabyte (1,000 GB), provide automated backup and restore capabilities for PC and Mac users. New software tools, including the ability to synchronize data between two or more computers and a System Rollback feature that helps return PC systems to a healthier state after a damaging spyware attack, are now integrated into the entire Maxtor OneTouch III family of products.
The Maxtor OneTouch III solution, with a triple FireWire 800/FireWire 400/USB 2.0 interface, was selected as a CES 2006 Innovations Design and Engineering Honoree in the Computer Accessories category. It was chosen for its engineering qualities, the product's intended use/function, unique features, and aesthetic and design qualities, among other reasons. To meet the needs of mainstream creative and business professionals, Maxtor is offering the Maxtor OneTouch III with dual interfaces, FireWire 400 and USB 2.0, for quickly and easily backing up photos, music and data. For the home
PC market, the company is offering a USB 2.0-only interface model that provides basic file-level backup capabilities.
All Maxtor OneTouch external storage and backup systems come with an added data security feature called Maxtor DriveLock, which provides a password protection option to safeguard contents if the drive is ever lost or stolen, said company in its statement.
"Digital entertainment and data have become absolutely integral to our everyday lives, for people and businesses, but the vast majority of us still don't protect valuable files by backing them up," said Yogesh Kamat, Country Manager, Indian Subcontinent, Maxtor.
Based on customer feedback and innovative technologies, Maxtor has added Sync, the ability to automatically synchronize files between two or more systems on the same operating platform, across its new family of Maxtor OneTouch III storage solutions. Increasingly, customers want to share data easily and automatically between home and office, synching files and folders in both computers. Also, to combat spyware, adware and computer registry issues that can slow a system to a crawl or even a screeching halt, the new Maxtor OneTouch III product family includes a System Rollback feature that reverts the system to a healthier point in time while preserving the most current user data in Word and Excel documents, photos, music and other digital files. System programs that can be rolled back in time include operating system, settings and applications.
Maxtor OneTouch III external storage and backup solutions will be available at the end of Q1 2006 at major retailers.
Manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) for the Maxtor OneTouch III family ranges from Rs. 10,500 for the 200GB, Rs. 14,000 for the 300GB and Rs. 20,000 for the 500 GB Combo drives.
