Seagate Pushbutton Backup
Size: 400 GB
Price: $305USD (76 cents per GB)
Full Size Backup Time: 7 hrs 25 mins
Restore: Required 2 restarts took less than an hour to restore.
Bottom line: Gives great info during the backup process with a simple to use interface.
Maxtor OneTouch II
Size: 200 GB
Price: $177USD (88 cents per GB)
Full Size Backup Time: 5 hrs 30 mins
Restore time: Took less than an hour to restore.
Bottom line: Faster backup but more complex to understand and crashed twice during the backup process. If Maxtor dumped their Retrospect Express (which was a problem on the last version of the product) and wrote a simple backup and restore interference it would come with a strong buy recommendation like the Seagate.
