Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini 320GB Ext. Hard Drive Review

Maxtor has offered a ‘mini’ version of their popular OneTouch drives since the OneTouch III series, based on the company’s 2.5" drive products. With the OneTouch 4 series, Maxtor has given the entire series a face-lift, and upped the range of available capacities to 320 gigabytes. Like their larger brothers, the OneTouch Mini external drives feature a large, illuminated button on the front of the drive that activates a user-definable backup routine via the drive’s software.

..Maxtor pushes the capacity and value envelopes once again with the OneTouch 4 Mini, thanks to a fast 2.5" drive platform and the ability of the drive to operate independently of an external power source. The OneTouch 4 Mini provides a stylish, compelling alternative to flash-based storage when large amounts of data (like HD video or an entire music collection) need to be moved that make flash drives impractical. Yet its ability to draw all its power from the host machine’s USB bus means it’s the perfect storage companion to laptop PCs.
