Endowed with 500GB of drive space, the OneTouch 4 Plus can back up your system’s hard drive with lots of room to spare. The unit adds a FireWire connection to the mix as well.

SafetyDrill is the real draw, though. The program backs up all the information on your drive, including the OS, documents, applications, and invisible files like boot records that help the PC work. SafetyDrill’s main downside is that it works only with Windows XP and Vista, and then only on drives that are NTFS formatted. Mac users and those with older XP systems are out of luck.

The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus, a 7,200-rpm mechanism, is speedy, clocking in at 51 seconds to back up our standard test folder via USB using the included software and 48 seconds using Windows Explorer. FireWire times were a bit slower, at 1 minute 15 seconds, using the drive’s FireWire 400 interface.

If your PC runs XP or Vista, the OneTouch 4 Plus is an excellent backup drive option.

This stylish monitor offers a lot of flexibility in both its design and uses. The round base swivels, and the panel can rotate into portrait mode. Five function buttons allow a range of options, including three viewing modes.

The L206WU can serve as your primary display, but its USB hookup is what makes it stand out. The unit contains an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) that interprets compressed graphics data sent from DisplayLink’s virtual graphics card software on your PC. According to LG, an 8MB flash drive embedded in the unit should automatically install the software on your computer, though I had trouble with my review model.

Performance results were mixed. The L206WU did well with small fonts and color quality but fell short on light-gray reproduction. Also, weak bottom viewing angles became a major issue in portrait mode. As a standalone monitor, the unit stood out for its exceptional 2-millisecond (gray-to-gray) pixel response. But as a secondary monitor it had a few problems, including a slight lag.

If you want to move to a multiple-monitor set up, the LG L206WU is definitely worth a look.
