    It's a great unit. The software is a little confusing but it can be customized to do exactly what you need it to do. It's a lot better than the Win 8 history file scheme.

    I got a great bargain on this 3TB External drive. I already have a USB Network Hub from iOmega, and this HDD just extended my network storage capacity, by another 3TB. Easy to use, great backup feature. I am thrilled.

    I purchased this as a back up to my son's XBOX 1 console. It connected easily and does exactly what you need it to do. The console recognized it immediately and after a few minutes, we had transferred the HD contents to the drive and designated it as the main drive for game storage. Worth the money...

    Windows 7 I bought this as additional storage for my music and video. It sleeps but comes back fairly quick. No it isn't instant if you are looking for that kind of speed pay for a faster drive. Remember "you get what you pay for". I was looking to expand my storage abilities on the cheap. I like this for what I paid, worth it.

    This is a great product. The capacity is huge, the unit is larger than most but for my purposes it works fine as I have no need to carry it around.

    I now have two of these Toshiba Canvio 3TB hard drives. They are a little noisy but I'm happy with the space. The first one I purchased was last year and it seems to be holding up extremely well being at capacity so I figured I'd go with the same one.

    This external drive was very easy to set up and we have had no problems with accessing it at all. We have stored all of our photos and other documentation on it with ease and can access them quickly. Seems to be the perfect solution for our storage needs and additional backup for our 5 computer stations and tablet.

    Was a piece of cake to set up. Just plug it into the PC and it does all the work itself. I just started doing my work. I am using it as a mirror backup of my PC which I will store off-site.
