Summary
We liked Maxtor's 5000DV external FireWire/USB 2.0 hard drive in our review of it last year, however, many users complained of drive failures that we did not experience. Maxtor seems to have made dramatic improvements to their new line of external drives and appears to have been paying attention to consumer feedback.
The One-Touch series of drives are great for storing large amounts of data including music and movies and should prove to be a valuable asset to any multimedia enthusiasts.
With the included FireWire ports, you can stack a large amount of these drives on top of each other without having to worry about heat issues, and the auto power down feature will help ensure that these drives last a long time.
