Strengths: Have full back up features, that means it can restore your whole computer if it crashed or attacked by viruses/spywares. It also have restore point, rollback, and sync features.
Weaknesses: Your computer will freeze if you boot it with the drive turned on and connected to your comp. This is a bug. It's not as bad as it sounds though.
Summary: I've bought 2 of the Maxtor Drives so far and is planning to buy another one. I have the Maxtor 3 Onetouch (with full backup features) and the Maxtor 4 Onetouch (without full backup features). Both are USB only and with 750 GB each. These are great drives so far (had them for about 3 weeks max). I've did extensive research on external hard drives (6 months to be exact) before I've decided to buy the Maxtor drives. In terms of price, quality, features, and reliability, Maxtor drives seem to out rank the rest. The only minor problem is that it will freeze your comp if you boot it with the drive turned on and connected. The Maxtor 3 Onetouch is my first drive and it works great so far. If you buy any drive for the first time, please make sure that it has a long extended warranty. My Maxtor 3 only has a 1 year warranty but my Maxtor 4 has a 5 years warranty. Also, keep in mind of the noise level, the bright light, the speed(don't buy anything below 7200 RPM)and the heat generate by the drive. My two Maxtors have speed of 7200 RPM, no fan( thus no noise to deal with), generate very little heat even after long extended use, and the light can be fix with a piece of cardboard tape over it or turn it off. Hope this help.
