DesignTechnica has posted a review on the Maxtor 5000DV
The 5000DV is perfect for those that need a lot of storage and would like a level of portability. For the HTPC user or those that simply want to store a large amount of movies and music, the 5000DV opens the door to unlimited possibilities. The one touch backup works as promised and adds a nice touch to the already good performing drive. If an on/off switch was included and the drive put out less heat, Maxtor could possibly have an award winner in the 5000DV. We also would have liked to have seen a longer warranty but that seems to be how all hard drive manufacturers are heading. Overall the 5000DV is a solid performer and proved to be very reliable with our use and abuse.Read more
