Reincarnation of Maxtor

When Seagate brought back the Maxtor line of hard drives to the market, their positioning changed slightly. Affordable price, maximum reliability and external simplicity became the new credo. So the case of Maxtor M3 is made of strong plastic, in which the front side is matte with a small edging, and the back is rougher, so it does not slip on the surface of the table or in the hands. The front side has an ornate, tile-like pattern that adds a twist to the look. Outwardly, the disc looks quite restrained, not without originality.

118 Mbps round trip

The connection to the computer is via a USB version 3 port, which is backwards compatible with older USB versions. Inside the case is a 4 TB HDD of its own production with a rotation speed of 5400 rpm and quite standard reading and writing indicators. In the Crystaldiskmark test, the drive showed the same 118 MB / s in both directions when linearly copying files of 4 – 6 GB and expectedly sank several times when it came to more massive files - an archive with Red Dead Redemption 2 for more than 100 gigabytes and dulogies The Avengers in 4K. All this once again leads us to the obvious conclusion that modern HDDs have accelerated to the maximum and hit their ceiling, so it makes little sense to choose a hard drive based on its speed performance. In this regard, all models are plus or minus equal, and the design, additional functions and how convenient and useful the software comes with it play a decisive role.

Trinity of helpers

The delivery package with Maxtor is ascetic and fully corresponds to its price. It includes the essentials: a disk, a connection cable, an instruction manual with Russian-language localization, and a warranty card. The Drive Manager programme is loaded directly onto the disk, consisting of three components, each of which is responsible for one thing: backup, data protection, and management / monitoring of the drive. There is nothing unusual in this package, except for the selectivity of AutoBackup, which makes an initial copy of the system or data array, and then simply updates it if any changes have been made. It turns out much faster than a full backup.
