Significantly worse than the predecessor

The Maxtor OneTouch 4 750GB is my sixth drive from the famous series.
While the Maxtor OneTouch II and III properly processed solid HDD enclosure were that survived also a tough professional use in mobile measurement techniques does the OneTouch 4 on the other hand quite cheap. For a similarly tough conditions, I would no longer provide this record.
The skewed housing vibrates noticeably stronger than its predecessor.
Even the power switch is saved and reduced the Netztteil to an AC adapter. After the power supply has only one voltage. The USB port is now done via a mini-USB connector.
So far, I would forgive two star.
Remained as a selling point is the adjustable standby mode; a long time this was a unique selling point. This brings us to three stars.
To configure the standby mode provides Maxtor with the somewhat idiosyncratic wizard. After installation, he offered me to format the hard drive. Unfortunately he has sold out performances and the wrong, also connected Maxtor OneTouch II formatted.
So my rating falls back to a star.
If the Maxtor OneTouch are not improved again, will go to the competition. There are even eSATA.
