    The hard drive transfers files faster than my old ones and holds a good amount of large photos I have.

    I have a household NAS drive with 2 TB in it, lots of files that we would have a hard time replacing. The Toshiba Canvio 2 TB portable allows me to backup that NAS and move the drive over to machines that don't have access to the NAS. A perfect little solution.

    This drive is really small. It is USB 3.0 and has no external power supply. I do wish the USB 3.0 cable was a bit longer, as when I plug it into my computer, the drive cannot lie flat but sits at an angle against the computer. I have no issues other than that...

    I bought this drive because I have had good success with Toshiba products in the past. I was not disappointed. I previously purchased a 1TB Toshiba Canvio from Best Buy and was very happy with it. The price was better than any of the competitor stores.

    Needed another external drive after using all the space on my WD drive. It was at a good price for 2TB and it was compatible with both PC and MAC since I use both computers. I bought it about a month ago and have not had any problems with it, yet.

    I purchased this product to store my RAW images and video content as I travel to different locations to print, view, and share content. It's the perfect size to slip into a bag without it taking much room. The only thing I advise is to be careful with the wire. Just like any other wire, it gets a little loose with wear and work, so be careful of how you store it. Other than that, great product

    I bought this to do a massive file save before switching to a new computer. Works very fast with USB 2.0 on my old PC....can imagine how much faster with USB 3.0 to 3.0! Easy to set up.

    Over the years I've purchased external drives from WD, Seagate, Hitachi and others. Toshiba has been the most reliable, the easiest to use, and a very cost-effective solution. I use Mac's 90% of the time and have no problems with the drives.

    it was super easy to set up with my Mac and it is also compatible with PC which is great. The price was reasonable so no complaints there. I've only had it one month but so far I like it.

    We buy these like candy at work. In my line of work we are always having to travel with data and these seem to be the most convenient to work with across all computer types (Apple vs. Windows). You can always seem to get these on sale..

    I got this drive to take my files from home to school. I work with a lot of pictures and photoshop files. I was using three flash drives before. But after getting the drive, I have had no problems with any of my files being too big.

    I bought this 2TB drive for my Xbox One. The drive has been excellent and worked right from the box opening. Plugged it into Xbox One and promptly began moving my apps from the Xbox One drive to the Toshiba. Worked like a charm!!

    This is the third Toshiba external drive I've purchased from Best Buy. I find them easy to handle, easy to use and attractive to see. it's easy to carry around and stores in a minimal amount of space. In my mind, a great buy.

    The setup was easy. I use this to back up MacBooks over my network. The drive is plugged up through the usb port on my Netgear Router and Time Machine on my Macbook backs up automatically over the network. I did have to plug the drive directly into the Macbook the first time to get everything started. Then moved the drive to the router. Works great so far and time will tell about longevity.

    I purchased this harddrive to replace our 1T harddrive. This is a great harddrive because of the size. It is so much smaller, but has twice the capacity of our old harddrive.

    This external drive, when reformatted for the Mac, performed flawlessly. A complete system backup was performed more quickly than I dared expect. Solid construction, good software and a speedy hard drive. Well done, Toshiba.
