I just bought it 2 months ago after some market research and am happy with this. Still i am not sure is this the best you can get for $62 because this is the first external drive i have used. But anyways its working o.k.(though a few times my computer fails to recognize the drive even if connected).I have tried this drive on several operating systems including win98, winXP and after few strug...

Working as a web developer slash web operator, an external drive is like water to us, human beings. A necessity, it is. With all the back up files you need to save and store, the html files, images and all the other file types you can imagine, you cannot survive a day's work without an external storage at hand. For 2 years, I have been using Maxtor One Touch Easy 500gig External Drive, give...

I upgraded to this Sata drive from an old IDE drive. On my first reboot to windows (after it was installed to this new drive) my system booted up lightning fast.

A bit about my profile, I'm currently studying medicine in Moscow Medical Academy. I came from Malaysia and I can speak much Russian, but few would understand. Before leaving on a jet plane, I figured out that I need to bring my documents, movies, musics with me, so that boredom won't be the first thing that I'll discover in Russia. That's when I went to Lowyat, and purchase Max...

As a container for storage of data, the role of a harddrive on the computer is important, for now we can not do anything with the computer without a harddrive, and to choosing a harddrive, we must be careful to choosing it. Many harddrive the elegant look of its appearance, but after some time used, the harddrive already has many problems.When I use Maxtor Diamond Max 10, this is good in the fi...

I've been using Western digital caviar hard drives in my computers ever since windows 98 was on the shelfs.These are very quiet and reliable hard drives that work for a variety of things. The first thing I noticed about these hard drives is how quiet they are, this hard drive is so quiet you will forget it's even running.And I had no problem setting this up either, as soon as you hook t...
