NEW DELHI:

Maxtor Corporation today announced it is shipping the new Maxtor OneTouch III, Mini Edition drive, the company's first small form factor external storage solution.






The company said in a statement that the portable solution is the latest addition to its OneTouch product family.





Weighing approximately seven ounces, it is the first mobile storage solution in the industry that comes fully loaded with the latest software innovations to protect and manage digital content, including automated backup, data encryption, data synchronization and System Rollback to restore applications and operating
system while keeping digital files current.

Yogesh Kamat, country manager, Indian Subcontinent, Maxtor, said: “Our latest

innovation lets people easily take their digital content with them so they can

access it whenever and wherever they need it. It also makes it easy for people

to back up and synchronize business data and files, or to share and enjoy

photos, music and video while away from home or office. It safely and simply

unleashes digital content from the desktop.”

According to an IDC analysis, there will be more than 850 million mobile

workers during 2009, representing more than one-quarter of the global workforce.

The United States, the country with the most mobile-enabled workers in 2004, is

expected to reach over 70 percent penetration by the end of the forecast period.








To make it simple to share and update data and files between home and office,
the Maxtor OneTouch III, Mini Edition includes Sync, a software feature that

automatically synchronizes files between two or more computer systems on the

same operating platform.






It also features a System Rollback feature that reverts a PC's applications and
operating system to a healthier point in time, while preserving current data.

The feature helps combat spyware or adware that can slow a system to a crawl, or

even bring it to a halt.






The sleek, portable system, finished in Titanium metallic paint, is equipped
with black rubber side panels molded to fit above the housing on all sides,

providing non-skid "feet" as well as added vibration protection.






The Maxtor OneTouch III, Mini Edition comes in a 60GB or 100GB capacity and
easily connects to a Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP computer via a USB 2.0 port.








The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the 60GB is Rs.7000 and Rs.9500
for the 100GB.
