1. Interesting topic, but no direct comparison with ATA!

2. Maxtor offers a numerous amount of different external harddrives. What is the MODELNUMBER ??? of this HD ?????

E01V200 or E01A200 ?? (maybe there are even more models I don't even know about).

Please list model #'s

3. Okay, figured it out.

The model number is: E01V200

MSRP on maxtor is 230 bucks....

(please list model numbers!!!!)

p.s Maxtors main site is poorly designed but their online store is superbly designed, funny how that goes.

4. very good

5. Never touch the maxtor drive. I have been duly informed by a data recovery firm that Maxtor's are regulalry seen in their office. Capability may be good but if the drive is unreliable then dont waste your time.

6. For any device that connects to a powered port, a revue should include a reference to whether the device is powered by the bus or not. This is particularly so in the case of portable drives where some are bus powered.

7. do not buy these!
i bought 2 and both dies on me after about 4 and 7 months...really unrealiable!
