Posted by: Lugeman from Danbury, CT on 05/08/2013The truth is I needed a protable 500GB hard drive that was cheapest and this fit the bill. I originally saw this item on Amazon with a cheaper price, I brought the copied web link into Best Buy and they honored the lower price from Amazon....nice! This hard drive runs like any other I've used, the real question is will it last...time will tell. I'm happy so far.

Posted by: dspanelli from Altoon, PA on 02/22/2013After losing data on my computer once too many times, I decided it was time for a hard drive backup. This one was relatively cheap and very easy to use. I have saved data but I haven't had to retrieve any data yet.

Posted by: LadyFinesse from Jackson, MS on 02/16/2013I had bought this to transfer my files from my old computer to my new one. I thought it would be simpler to do it myself & knew that it's best to have back-up, in case your computer crashes. I use this as an external drive for back up. It was easy to use & didn't require much for initial connection.

Posted by: LauTin from Tallahassee, FL on 02/09/2013I needed to back my computer before I sent it off for repair. I chose the Toshiba name because I have had good luck with their products. The Toshiba external-hard drive was so easy to use!
No matter your level of computer expertise, I believe you could do your computer back-up with the Toshiba external-hard drive back-up.
