SmallBusinessComputing.com Readers Recognize Maxtor for Best
Storage and Backup Solution for Third Straight Year MILPITAS,
Calif., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Storage and backup
innovator Maxtor Corporation (NYSE:MXO) announced today that its
Maxtor OneTouch(TM) III, Turbo Edition external storage solution
has won JupiterWeb's "SmallBusinessComputing.com 2006 Excellence in
Technology Awards." Occupying first place in the storage category
for the third consecutive year, the company's cutting-edge storage
solution has set a new standard in providing the easiest way for
small businesses to back up and protect their often irreplaceable
digital assets. Every year the publication polls its readers to
select the most outstanding products of the year, based on their
ability to help small businesses increase efficiencies and improve
productivity. The Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition external
storage and backup solution was one of 24 category winners to earn
this year's top prize by SmallBusinessComputing.com, part of the
Jupitermedia network of Web sites, which covers hardware and
software designed for small business use. According to a recent
news article by Lauren Simonds, SmallBusinessComputing.com managing
editor, "The amount of data a small business has to retain nearly
doubles every year, and it's even worse for people in financial,
medical and other industries subject to federal compliance
regulations that require them to save every e-mail, file and
instant messages they generate." "Many small businesses lack an IT
staff to implement a backup and storage solution, so we wanted to
make it simple," said Stacey Lund, vice president of marketing,
Maxtor's Branded Products Group. "Our Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo
edition is ideal for small office managers, sole proprietors and
independent contractors who don't have the time or expertise to
manage a complex backup system, but instead need a simple,
automatic and reliable way to protect their business-critical
content." The Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition external storage
and backup solution, with capacities from 100 GB to one terabyte
(1,000 GB), features a new intuitive user interface, improved
acoustics, an inner disk drive casing and shock mounts for
additional durability and drive protection. The dual- drive
enclosure is the first consumer solution to offer RAID 0 and 1
functionality for improved speed or data security, respectively.
Its sleek industrial design provides added reliability and
robustness, while being soft to the touch and easily stackable.
Enhanced software tools include the ability to synchronize data
between two or more computers, a System Rollback feature that helps
return PC systems to a healthy state after a virus infection or
spyware infestation, and an added data security feature called
Maxtor DriveLock(TM), which provides a password protection option
to safeguard digital content. "Unfortunately, the majority of small
businesses aren't taking the necessary precautions to safeguard
data," said Ray Boggs, vice president, Small/Medium Business
Research at IDC. "Fewer than 50 percent of small businesses
regularly back up or keep data in a safe location, which reflects
the need for a simple, easy-to-use solution such as the Maxtor
OneTouch III, Turbo Edition." For more information about the
