Glenn Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've been using the A01A160 (a version that allows USB or FireWire connection) for about a year. No complaints with the hardware. The Dantz Retrospect Express backup software that was included was awkward but they recently came out with a free upgrade that's more user friendly. The OneTouch series is obsolete (it's been replaced with the OneTouch II series) but there are a lot of them around at the retail level. In my area (Canada) a good price for the 160GB on clearance sale is CDN$150-170 including all taxes. One of my co-workers has been using the Ximeta NetDisk 120GB for about 6 months and is happy with it. He chose it because it allows USB or ethernet connection. He plugged it into the router at his home allowing it to be used as a shared network drive. When he bought it, it didn't include any backup software (apparently it does now) so he's been using the WinXP utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
