Maxtor one touch drives are cheaply made garbage. I had two of these things fail on me in less than a year. Maxtor will not stand behind them. Their customer service is arrogant and unhelpful. Trust me, do your homework - do a search on maxtor sucks, do not buy Maxtor. I wish I had learned this before I lost my data. Oh, by the way, Maxtor is owned by Seagate.  Tadah!
