"If you need copious amounts of directly attached storage, a fast drive system for video editing, and a backup that can hold many, many revisions of many documents, or if you need an external drive with hardware failure insurance, the Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition should be at the top of your list," wrote PC Magazine lead analyst Joel Santo Domingo in his February 17 review. Awarding the solution four and a half out of five stars, Santo Domingo remarked: "This is the system other high-capacity, direct-connect storage devices have to beat."
PC Magazine also honored the Maxtor OneTouch II, FireWire 800 solution and the Maxtor OneTouch II Small Business Edition with Editor's Choice awards. In his review, contributing editor Bill Machrone wrote that the Maxtor OneTouch II FireWire 800 solution "was easy to install, requiring only power and a USB 2.0 or FireWire connection." In his review, Santo Domingo highlighted the Maxtor OneTouch II Small Business Edition's reliability and ease of use by noting the product is "a security blanket for the business that wants to be serious about backup" and it works with limited or no IT support.
