Customer Reviews

data loss and file corrupted
Within one month of purchase, the unit crapped out. Some folders cannot be open at all. Other folders, all the stored files were gone. The loss files will be really hard to replace, since I did not have additional backup for the backup. Maxtor OneTouch 4 Lite 500 GB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive This is not a reliable storage unit. I will not to store any more file to this unit from now on.

Bad Software
I bought this product because I thought it would be a quick and simple way of backing up my files with a quick touch of a button. Well, I quickly found out that this is not the case. In the software, you don't have the ability to choose which folder you want to back up. There is a 'manual' backup option that supposedly lets you choose, but it only gives you a list of basic system folders and doesn't let you specify. So, now I use it as a regular external hard drive and uninstalled the backup software. I use Allway Sync software to backup my folders and it works great.
