Maxtor OneTouch II (250GB) review

Review Maxtor's OneTouch II external hard drive makes a good thing even better, with 250GB or 300GB of one-button backups. But be warned: it eliminates any excuses for not backing up a computer.

Review The Ethernet Disk offers affordable network storage in a sleek rack-mountable casing. Performance isn’t great, but given its target audience this probably isn’t a show-stopper. Expansion is an issue though.
