Purchased this external USB drive for extra storage. It has a nice small size and is a USB 3.0 drive but numerous drive are about its size and can store files. What really pleased me was the included software. It included backup software but what was really a nice surprise was the lifetime PogoPlug license and software. It allows you to use directories like cloud storage but where your PC is the cloud server. No limit to the amount of files that can be made available remotely. Your computer has to be on, of course, to access the files since it is acting as the server.

I have owned 3 different types of external/portable memory devices. This is comparable to the more expensive versions in the sense that it is easy to use. It works just like your everyday thumb drive. You plug it into your computer and you drag your file to the drive on your file menu (things get slightly more complicated if you have a Mac, but a simple google drive teaches you how to format the Toshiba 1TB). The biggest plus for me is that the Toshiba 1TB does not come with software whose default setting is to prompt you to backup your device. I primarily use it for Music, Videos, and school documents. Using this as a device to backup your entire computer might be a bit tediuos if you do not use the back up app that comes with your computer. None the less, incredibly easy to use and affordable.
