    To Sync, or not to Sync - that is the question?

    I don't understand the 'Sync' system, it's function or it's purpose, however,
    is it advisable to set up a Sync Partnership between my Notebook, and
    the Maxtor external hard drive that I use?

    Sync means that you synchronise 2 files in different places. The result is that those 2 files have exactly the same content. A typical application is when you want to sync the calenders on your PC and e.g. on your cell phone. A general setup with an external disk does most likely not make any sense. It will, of course, depend a lot on for what you use the external disk.
