In Maxtor's latest press release, it turns out the company is announcing some new products the Maxtor Shared Storage II, a NAS for home and office users, offering RAID storage, gigabit Ethernet and up to 1TB of space. The other is the One Touch III Mini Edition (pictured), a one-inch thick drive that can hold up to 100GB of data.

Maxtor's working with Fabrik on something called "Project Fusion," which sounds like an online backup service that will take advantage of Maxtor's One Touch interface to make it easier to store and share files on a hosted server. Pricing is expected to range from a free service to one costing about $50 a year, depending on storage and feature needs.
