What kills me (and I also LIKE this Maxtor One Touch Drive, is that users blame the hard drive manufacturers for their data loss... It's like blaming the manufacturer of your tires for "excessive wear". Hard drives die. they die every day. sometimes they die soon after they're purchased, sometimes they die years later. The moral of this story? BACK YOUR DATA UP!!! don't rely on a hard drive to last for ever - because it wont.

The software initally worked at startup, but later attempts showed "updating status, 0 restore points available". I would not recommend this product.
