 Cannot encrypt complete drive snapshots November 11, 2008
I WAS going to buy this product in order to do complete system snapshots of my desktop and notebook, but when I read through the user guide at the Maxtor website, I discovered that these snapshots cannot be encrypted. So this won't work for me.
Seems a bit sneaky to advertise that it can do complete system snapshots and that it has encryption technology, but not readily disclose that you can't do them both at the same time.
Froze up on first back up on Mac November 3, 2008

I have a macbook pro, bought this thing to backup the drive. I installed the software, restarted the computer as it instructed and started a backup of my home directory only. After a few minutes of calculating the backup size, the drive started backing up and then hung. Still haven't done my first backup, the software and the drive just hang, good job maxtor.
 Horrid, awful little thing. Don't buy (especially if you work with video). October 14, 2008

I'm a professional video editor, and I needed a drive quickly and cheaply for an emergency storage issue, so I bought one of these. I had occasional problems getting the drive to mount over the 21 days that it functioned. I run a Mac G5 and a Mac Powerbook, which may possibly be an issue (although it's advertised as Mac compatible).
But then it died. Not even disk warrior would fix the issue. It was toast. I sent it back and (lucky me) I got a brand new one. This one has been "working" for about two months so far, but the thing won't mount unless I boot up the computer, then plug in the power to the drive, then plug in the firewire to the drive, and then only about 70% of the time. If I try to access the drive with finder once it has mounted, it will crash finder un-recovereably about 20% of the time. If I want to use it with Avid (don't get me started), I have to load Avid before doing any of this, or it takes down my machine. And then, once in Avid, I find that about 1 in 4 times I access the drive to save, Avid crashes and won't relaunch, and the machine generally goes down too. I have none of these problems with any other drives I've used (EXCEPT the MyBook drives, which have similar issues, are also complete trash, and should be avoided).
Spend the extra money on a decent drive while you have a chance to avoid the headaches and potential loss of valuable data and hard work.
 Good basic drive October 7, 2008
Good drive, would like different shape for more flexible positioning, and could use some more robust backup software.
 nice quite 1tb harddisk September 5, 2008
pleased with this harddisk. i like that it's quiet and has a nice design. having both firewire and usb is a nice option for mac users.
