Seagate Debuts Maxtor OneTouch 4 in RP
The Next Generation of Data Protection

Now with a powerful new software suite to make securing digital assets easier than ever
Seagate Technology, in cooperation with Millenium Computer Technology Corporation, introduced to the Philippine market its next generation of award winning Maxtor OneTouch products in a media briefing last December 6 in Quezon City. Built on a long tradition of experience with simple and robust storage solutions, the new Maxtor OneTouch 4 family makes data protection and security effortless with innovative, easy-to-use software tools that make a once complex task, simple. These intuitive new tools, which are now integrated into the Maxtor OneTouch 4 family of products, include: the ability to perform multiple-computer data synchronization, drag-and-drop encryption and a bare metal system restore. In the event of a fatal crash or virus attack, Maxtor’s SafetyDrill, the new bare metal system restore feature, allows the nearly instantaneous restoration of an entire computer ensuring access to files even in a time of crisis. With an unparalleled standard 5-year limited warranty, anyone who is concerned about data protection now has a solution to provide the peace of mind that theirs is safe and secure. 

The Maxtor OneTouch 4 family sports a new industrial design that conveys security and an enhanced interface to provide a new level of consistency and ease of use with its aesthetically appealing “vault-like” appearance. Reinforcing Seagate’s commitment to providing durable and innovative storage solutions, these reliable data protectors feature improved acoustics, optimized convection cooling systems, and an inner disc drive casing and shock mounts for additional drive protection. 

In addition to automatically backing up on a set schedule or with the touch of a button with the Maxtor Backup software suite, the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus and Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini both include Maxtor SafetyDrill. This new, innovative software feature, for computers running Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, allows the complete recovery of local hard drive’s contents in the event of a system crash or virus attack. At a time of system failure, the included SafetyDrill Recovery CD and SafetyDrill takes over after rebooting. The software will automatically find the Maxtor OneTouch 4 on the system and format, partition and restore everything including the operating system, applications, personal content, settings and even replace the icons on the desktop. All this is done to get the system up and running with minimal downtime and frustration. Without the CD, SafetyDrill can still be initiated by simply going to any Internet-connected computer with a CD/DVD burner to create a new disc. 

The OneTouch 4 Plus and the OneTouch 4 Mini storage solutions include two levels of security to guard against unauthorized use of a lost or stolen drive. Maxtor Encryption creates a 256bit AES encrypted password-protected folder that is safe and reliable as well as easy to use. For added protection, Maxtor DrivePass (formerly Maxtor DriveLock) is an embedded firmware feature that further restricts data access when the internal hard drive is removed and attached to another computer.
