Editing Video

Using a computer to capture and edit video recorded with a digital
camcorder is quickly becoming popular. Digital video files are
typically very large, using about 13 GB per hour of video content.
Maxtor recommends connecting your drive using the FireWire
interface for best results when working with video.

Moving Data Between Two Systems

Your Maxtor OneTouch II drive provides a great tool for moving large
amounts of data between two systems– whether they be
Windows PCs, Macintosh Computers or both. Certain
considerations must be accounted for before proceeding.

Playing Games

CD-ROM-based games typically run faster when they are on a hard
drive rather than running them from the CD. You can use your
Maxtor OneTouch II drive to store and play CD-ROM games.

Storing Audio

Using your computer as an audio jukebox is a very popular
application. This allows you to store and play thousands of your
favorite songs. You can also create and manage an audio library.

Using Security Lock

Your new drive includes a security locking slot on the back of the
drive. The slot is compatible with most security locking cables.
Adding Rubber Feet to Your
Maxtor OneTouch II Drive
If you plan to use your drive on a desk surface, your kit includes four
rubber feet to protect your drive and the surface of your desk.
To apply the feet:
1. Make sure your drive is disconnected properly from your
computer. ("Connecting and Disconnecting the Drive"
on page 39).
2. Make sure your drive is turned off, by turning off the
power switch on the back of the drive.
3. Turn your drive so that the ridges are facing up. This is
the bottom of the drive.
4. Place two rubber feet on each ridge on the bottom of
your drive. One should be placed near the front and the
other toward the back of each ridge.
