TrustedReviews posted a review on the Maxtor OneTouch II FireWire 800 Edition external hard drive.
In terms of design and features the drive follows on from previous Maxtor OneTouch external drives but with one key extra; namely support for FireWire 800. Offering a theoretical 800Mbps this is intended to put the FireWire standard back on top of the performance tree to overtake the 480Mbps delivered by USB 2.0. This equates to 100MB/s though the official specs only claim a sustained transfer rate of 64MB/s due due to overhead. The drive also gives users a choice of three connections with Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 accompanying FireWire 800.Maxtor OneTouch II FireWire 800 Edition
