About this product
The Maxtor Seagate OneTouch III is a 300GB external hard drive, featuring a 3.5-inch form factor and a 7200 RPM rotation speed.

Our take
This Maxtor Seagate OneTouch III drive, while not the newest, still offers a respectable 300GB of storage with some compelling features. The 7200 RPM speed and 16MB cache are good for its class, suggesting decent performance. I appreciate the dual USB 2.0 and Firewire 400 interfaces, providing flexibility for older and some newer systems. It's described as rugged and having a low noise level, which are nice bonuses for a desktop drive. The 3.5-inch form factor means it's not for travel, but it's a solid choice for a stationary backup or media server, particularly if you have Firewire-enabled devices.
