This review is from : External 200GB 7200RPM 8MB
Good drive but AVOID THE BUNDLED DANTZ SOFTWARE . The drive works great. Plug it in, it works, copy files, have a nice time.
It comes bundled with Dantz Retrospect backup software (or at least mine did). Run run RUN AWAY do NOT use that Dantz software! It does not work. It cheerfully claims to be backing up your files, but when your disk crashes - - shazam - - unable to find anything to restore.

External 200GB 7200RPM 8MB Opinions
Excellent Hard Drive! . I have never had a problem using this hard drive & i have been using this for a long time. Looks like the previous reviewer must have got a defective one.
Easy to use even though it is my 1st HD purchase. Never had any issue with it.

Not what I expected . This HD works great, but the problem is that the synch feature is pretty annoying and it over records data over and over....
review of 200G Maxtor external drive . very happy with the item as well as the on-time delivery
Cons Review
Died in less than one hour! . I set up the drive, performed one backup of my files (only 3.5 GB), then shortly after that the software & my computer failed to recognize the drive, and it stopped running less than one hour after I had plugged it in. What an expensive piece of junk! Happily I was able to take it back to the store where I purchased it (not Amazon) for a refund. A good thing, because if I had to send it back to Seagate (who bought Maxtor late last year), they only would have replaced it with a factory rebuilt unit with a 90-day warranty! Stay away from this one. Are there no reliable external hd's out there?
Drive Failed Lost All Data . After having this drive for about 18 months. It would not start up and makes a loud beeping and clacking noise. Lost all data. Checked Maxtor site, it is not under warranty. The drive saw light usage, but failed to do the one thing that I needed it to do -- protect my data. You are rolling the dice if you buy a Maxtor.
It only worked for 2 months . It only worked for two months and then I lost everything I had backed up.
I will never buy a Maxtor product again. Have other drives and I never had a similar experience.

Don't purchase if you want a worry-free external drive . I am not the kind of guy that frequently posts reviews of products on Amazon or elsewhere. In fact, I think this is the first (or maybe second to give myself the benefit of a doubt) review I have ever posts. I do, however, rely on other people's reviews when making a product selection.
Hence, I really must caution anyone from purchasing any Maxtor or Seagate external hard drive.
I have purchased three hard drives from them and have had the same experience with all three. After about a year give or take a couple of months, ALL of drives have simply failed with an internal electrical fault. The most recent one was today. This wouldn't have been such a big problem if I had discovered the failure of my hard drive backup BEFORE my iMac decided to throw a fit and require a reload of OS X. I have to tell you that, while the drives (all different models) seemed like a good deal at the time I was shopping through CostCo, whatever money I saved is not worth the incredible frustration I feel right now. All I can do is close the doors and windows and vent how well pissed off I am with a very loud Sh#$!!!
Lesson learned. Sometimes is little extra money is well spent....especially on data backup!!!
