    It took less than 15 minutes to set up and begin backing up my computer. The interface is user friendly. It's slightly big compared to similar products.

    I got this for backing up my NAS. It is serving its purpose. The one drawback was the write speed. At 5400, it takes time to write to it. Of course, I knew this. This is my short term investment. Once the SSDs prices drop down to reasonable levels, i plan to upgrade it.

    I've had my share of problems with external hard drive backups. Not so with the Toshiba Canvio - at least so far. I've owned this drive for a short time thus far.
