  • The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is thin, stylish and elegant, and didnt run too warm during our testing. We were happy with this device, giving us a reason to store lots of data (for security and convenience purposes) on this drive. Keith Shaw, Network Wo...

  • Abstract:  The Maxtor OneTouch 4 essentially is a scaled down version of the OneTouch 4 plus, ie, it does not include the Maxtor SafetyDrill or the password-protected folder feature (Maxtor DrivePass) in it. It's encased in jet black, has one USB port only, and an external AC supply slot. No Firewire ports are included.

  • The 160GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 has plenty of good thing about it. First of all, the design is very appealing and at the same time the form factor is very small. Secondly and very importantly, it can absorb a hit if you drop it on the floor by mistake. La...

  • Coque métal : robuste, Temps d'accès : 14 ms, Débits très rapides, Format réduit
  • Pas de connectique eSata ni de fireWire 400
  • Le Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini 250 Go est un très bon disque dur externe 2.5 pouces. Sa coque en métal et son format réduit lui permettent de le transporter facilement. On regrette toutefois qu'il n'admette pas d'autres types de con...

  • La suite logicielle, Le prix
  • La capacité du disque dur plutôt réduite, Le peu dévolution matérielle de cette nouvelle génération
  • Maxtor renouvelle sa gamme de disques durs portables 2,5 pouces, avec le One Touch 4 mini. Qui dit nouvelle génération dit capacité augmentée, vitesse de rotation améliorée ? Eh bien non : le plus gros des disques de la génération précédente est équiva...

  • Un look sympa, de bons débits, une touche de sauvegarde couplée à un logiciel assez complet : pas mal, ce petit disque Maxtor !
  • Le logiciel est en anglais.

  • Ottimo sistema di backup per chi è sempre in movimento. Il software Maxtor Manager offre in modo semplice e intuitivo tutto quello che serve per questo tipo di operazione. Il prezzo è adeguato alla capacità di storage offerta
  • Anche se non specificato, occorrono due porte USB par il collegamento e l’alimentazione. Passando tramite un HUB non è stato possibile alimentarlo. Quindi attenzione alla disponibilità di porte sul vostro pc o notebook.
