According to CNET.com, 'The dual-drive terabyte unit is not only
capacious; it's also fast and quiet and runs cool. It's as simple
and sweet a backup/recovery solution as you could ask for.'
MILPITAS, Calif., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
"Direct-attached external storage just doesn't get any better than
Maxtor's OneTouch III, Turbo Edition," writes Jon L. Jacobi and
Felisa Yang in a recent CNET Editors' Choice review. The coveted
CNET Editors' Choice award recognizes outstanding personal
technology and consumer electronic products that represent the best
available choice for quality, performance, design, and service, and
its logo is a mark of excellence denoting the best possible
investment for technology buyers. Introduced by storage pioneer
Maxtor (NYSE:MXO) during CES 2006, the innovative Maxtor
OneTouch(TM) III product family has already garnered more than 10
editorial awards from leading publications this year. "A CNET
Editors' Choice award is an exceptional achievement and we're very
proud to be recognized for our dedication and commitment to
producing the highest quality products available today," says Mike
Williams, vice president and general manager of Maxtor Branded
Products Group. "The OneTouch III family departs from Maxtor's
traditional silver-box design," Jacobi and Yang write. "The Maxtor
OneTouch III, Turbo Edition is a rectangular box (think half-size
toaster), colored a bit like a reverse grayscale Oreo, with light
gray sides and a dark platinum center. Because the side panels
aren't as tacky as some footpads on the bottom of other drives, the
drive is less likely to stick to the surface it's sitting on after
a stationary period or in a particularly hot environment -- an
appreciated design flourish." Coupled with Maxtor Manager, a
helpful management utility for RAID setup, the EMC(R) Dantz(R)
Retrospect(R) Express HD 1.1 software bundle is "as simple and
sweet a backup/recovery solution as you could ask for," according
to the CNET review. "Service and support for the Maxtor OneTouch
III, Turbo Edition is about as good as it gets for external hard
drives. Maxtor provides a standard one-year warranty, but the setup
and support docs are excellent," Jacobi and Yang write. "There's a
ton of online help available in the forms of drivers, manuals,
FAQs, troubleshooting resources and an online support form, though
the simplicity of the product should render most of it
unnecessary." CNET Editors' Choice winners are recognized as top
products in their respective technology categories, and contribute
to the standard by which future products are judged. A key
selection requirement is the difference it makes in the lives of
its users, whether through innovative features, exceptional value
for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost to
users' productivity. "We're excited about this honor from CNET
because their Editors' Choice award has become the hallmark of
technology quality and innovation, and its logo is a symbol
consumers know and trust," says Williams. Based on the latest data
from NPD Group, an industry analyst research firm, the Maxtor
OneTouch(TM) family of products remains the leading brand of
external storage sold in the United States. Based on the data,
Maxtor ranked as the number one brand sold in the United States
with 27.4 percent of all direct-attached storage purchases from
consumers and small businesses via the retail and online channels
that NPD Data monitored during 2005, a slight increase in Maxtor's
27.2 percent market share which led the external storage category
in 2004. For more information about the Maxtor OneTouch III family
