Maxtor has updated its One Touch removeable drive with the Maxtor OneTouch II drive with a FireWire 800 interface. Aimed at the creative market the drive delivers up to 800Mbit per second data transfer.

Consumers can connect the drive to their system using its FireWire 800, FireWire 400 or USB 2.0 interface.

The Maxtor OneTouch II drive will have a 300GB capacity and 16 MB buffer.
With every Maxtor OneTouch II drive consumers also get Maxtor DriveLock and EMC Dantz Retrospect Express HD software for backing up the drive.

Manufacturer's suggested retail pricing is approximately £199.90 for the 200GB and approximately £249.90 for the 300GB. A 500GB version will be shipping later this year.
