Features: Maxtor Corporation has announced 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. Maxtor OneTouch III external storage and backup solutions will
be available at the end of Q1 2006 at major retailers.
