I have purchased toshiba External hard drives in the past and I have never had any complains or complications with them.. On the other hand I would NEVER recommend seagate. With toshiba hard drive my files or uploaded information has never been lost, and it has always worked no matter what. I had bought a seagate hard drive recently because i though after 12 years of not using seagate maybe they had improved their products, but no. After 3 days of use.. all the files i had save were lost, because the hard drive stopped functioning for no reason.. Luckily I hadn't deleted them from my other toshiba hard drive yet. So I was able to just transfer them again to this new toshiba one.. I just had to change the names of the hard drives so i wouldn't get confused with Toshiba 1 & Toshiba too. Ny other toshiba hard drive has lasted me so many years without any issues.. and it still has photos saved from family members that are no longer around. I would have hated if those photos would have been lost with that seagate drive. DON'T BUY SEAGATE. Go for toshiba. Good quality, will last you forever and never stop working. Your files are indeed safe with this guy.

While not flash based this is a good cheap 1TB hd that will serve a purpose, namely backing up my information. Worked with my windows 10 laptop out of the box, and so far has been exactly what I needed.

I have used this external hard drive on two laptops. It responded fast and was ready to use within a minute. It's small enough to add to a laptop case. Very nice and a good buy for the money.

I used this as a cheap option to add storage to my Xbox One X, and it works perfectly. I even tested the loading times compared to the console's internal drive using the same games, and they're exactly the same.
