Maxtor OneTouch III Turbo
Maxtor is now selling their latest addition to the OneTouch family called the OneTouch III Turbo. The OneTouch III is an external hard drive that comes with RAID0/1 support and up to one terabyte of disk space.
Users can configure the drive to either use RAID 0 for speed purposes or RAID 1 for mirroring purposes. The OneTouch III comes with interfaces supporting FireWire 800 and 400 or USB 2.0. Having owned the original OneTouch hard drive, I can certainly vouch for the quality of these Maxtor external systems. It's great to see Maxtor provide RAID capabilities in an external hard drive.
