    Absolutely love this external hard drive from Toshiba! It has a sleek aluminum enclosure, highly portable, and a 1TB size, which is perfect for my needs. The drive is USB 3.0 and transfers files extremely fast, and while not SSD speed, it is an improvement over USB 2.0 speeds by far, and works perfectly for my travel backup and portable file transfer. Conclusion: If you don't require SSD speeds, but need a solid performing, yet portable drive, this is a great option!

    "Canvio Slim II 1TB?" More like "Canvio Slim II 1 TB!" These things are awesome! They have a sleek racing stripe all the way around the edges, as if to say "Yeah, I'm fast - real fast - no matter which way you look at me. Now, make me a sandwich." These drives have served our company well, holding byte after gigabyte of our data, transferring around from Canvio Slim II to Canvio Slim II to internal hard drive to the network server faster than you can say "Toshiba Canvio Slim II 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard drives are even better than the previous Toshiba Canvio Slim I 1TB USB 2 portable hard drives because the Toshiba Canvio Slim II 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard drives offer USB 3.0 technology, allowing up to five gigabyte-per-second data transfer rates and sleek styling that's sure to make you win with all the ladies!" Ok, so that all takes quite a while to say, but I'm sure you catch my drift. And yeah, you heard that last part right....flash a stack of these bad boys labeled "Anime A-Z" and you're a shoo-in at the Sadie Hawkins Dance! (But seriously, I use these drives exclusively because they stack well, they're FAST, they're easy to label with Brother .47" continuous DK Labels, and their squared-off design makes handling them by the handful an easy task.)

    I was looking for a portable hard drive with at least 1TB storage capacity. Of all the hard drives I looked at, this one was by far the best value (I got it on sale which didn't hurt). Bonus points: physically it's small, lightweight, attractive, an easy shape to store and transport. Technically, it offers good options for high speed data transfer and easy encryption, which was a plus.

    Was between the Toshiba and the WD models upon my purchase and decided to go with the Toshiba and made the right choice. The data transfer speed is amazing. I transferred 200gb of files in a short period of time. I dropped it In the rain and just a small scratch on it. Definitely recommend.

    I needed a compact external drive. After some research and checking the reviews, this Toshiba drive was perfect. I have had it over a month with no problems. I have transferred a large number of music files and the drive runs quiet and cool. Liked it so much that I bought another.

    I needed to have some additional memory on my Xbox One. I did a little research and spoke with a Best Buy associate. He helped me pick this one. It is a good size, relatively inexpensive and took about 5 minutes to set up. I've had it about 2 months and it works perfectly.

    Toshiba - Canvio Slim II 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is a great external hard drive, smaller size than WB 1 TB hard drive. Mac and Windows compatible. I would recommend this to all if you are looking for compact external hard drive.
