    While I have not yet used the Toshiba external hard drive that I purchased, I am using another from Toshiba that I already have. It works great and is very easy to use. I take a large number of photos and work with them from the external drive with no issues! It's a great product which is why I went ahead and purchased a second one.

    So far so good. I’ve owned it for about a month and I haven’t had a problem. Granted I don’t use it everyday. I transferred 10gb of data so that took a while, which I expected and accounted for so I really can’t say if it’s too slow or fast per a standard. Overall I’m happy, I bought it to move data from a drive that I maxed out and that’s exactly what it did. Looks durable and could last a long time if taken care of. One thing I have to do now is find a pouch for it.

    It seems okay so far. I'm a novice at tech things but the size is convenient. I'm upset that I must first wipe everything from it in order to format. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, so the pros and con are yet to be determined.
