PC Magazine Editors Select Maxtor OneTouch(TM) III, Turbo Edition
As One of the Best Products Launched During Q1 2006 MILPITAS,
Calif., May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Storage innovator Maxtor
Corporation (NYSE:MXO) announced today that its one-terabyte
(1,000GB) Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition external storage and
backup solution has been chosen as one of the 26 best products so
far this year by PC Magazine. "These 26 products represent the
cream of the crop: All have been given an editor rating of 4.5 or
higher (five being the highest), as well as PC Magazine's highest
honor, the Editor's Choice award," writes Vicki B. Jacobson,
website executive editor for PC Magazine, one of the world's
leading personal technology publications. In the magazine's
Editor's Choice review of the Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition in
mid-February, Joel Santo Domingo, PC Magazine lead analyst -
desktops, recommends it above all other storage systems, writing:
"The Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition's compactness and copious
amount of storage raises the bar for storage systems. Video
editors, heavy downloaders, and any users needing large capacity
should be very happy with the 1TB it provides in RAID 0
configuration. Set up as RAID 1, the system still offers 500GB, and
can keep the data safe even if one internal drive fails." PC
Magazine editors select the best products by rigorously testing and
comparing them for reliability, performance, speed,
user-friendliness, affordability and innovative features. Along
with the print publication, which reaches more than 700,000
subscribers, PC Mag.com is a trusted source for in-depth product
reviews that reach more than 6.6 million technology buyers
worldwide. "As a leader in consumer storage and backup solutions,
our job is to help protect our customers' digital lives. We want
data backup and protection to be virtually effortless," said Mike
Williams, vice president and general manager, Maxtor Branded
Products Group. "We designed the Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition
to be easy and trustworthy. It backs up and stores photos, videos,
games, music, business data and personal information whether you're
a consumer, creative professional or small business owner." With
the Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition, users can add a terabyte of
capacity almost instantly, enough space to store 750,000 photos,
16,500 hours of music or up to 70 hours of DV video. An easy-to-use
interface simplifies drive management, security and backup
scheduling for either PCs or Macs. With user-configurable RAID, the
system can quickly be configured for either high- performance RAID
0 (disk striping), which enables up to six simultaneous video
streams and seamless video playback, or RAID 1 (disk mirroring) for
automatic duplication of all data on one drive to provide added
protection. In addition to push-button or automated backup, the
Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition includes data synchronization
software to automatically synchronize files between two or more
computers to ensure users are always working with the most current
