Maxtor's latest model in their ever-popular external backup devices is the Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo Edition. It's got a massive storage capability of 1 terabyte (TB)! It's RAID 0 and RAID 1 compatible and we know that graphic designers, video editors, and heavy-downloaders out there are just jumping for joy for this device.

Unlike many other large-capacity storage devices that have come out onto the market within the past year or so, the Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo isn't meant to be used as network-attached storage (NAS), but rather for a single computer hookup via USB 2 or Firewire 400/800. It's meant to be used for a quick way to transfer large files from one PC to the OneTouch III. It's also a little cheaper than other 1TB competitors by about a hundred dollars or so. The OneTouch III is also compatible for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. However, Mac OS X users can use the OneTouch III right out of the box, while Windows users will have to format the drives to NTFS format using the included formatting program. Once formatted, the features are identical for both OS X and Windows users.
