Along with internal hard drives, external hard drives are also getting larger and since external drives are used for backup, they need to be large. Maxtor has been a well-known name in the storage business and ever since its merger with Seagate, it has shifted focus to external storage drives. The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 1 TB drive is a huge drive that we received and that's what this review is all about.


Bundle

Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 1 TB

Power adapter

Two extra power socket adapters

USB 2.0 cable

FireWire 400 cable

Cloth storage bag

Software CD

Manual




We do remember that the last time we had tested a OneTouch 4 Plus drive, the power adapter was such that it was incompatible with Indian power sockets. This time round, Maxtor has taken care to provide adapter plugs to suit just about any socket in the world.
