    This product is exactly what I was looking for. It's compact, fast, and practical. The price is right and Toshiba rocks when it comes to durability and warranty issues.

    3 words : Stylish, fast and reliable. Thank you Toshiba you stand up to your reputation ! On a side note, I wish you would still make enterprise grade hard drive for consumer like you used to back in early 2000s :)

    Bought this to use as an extra drive for backing up photos. Works well, is quick, and its small. Fits the bill well for a backup/portable hard drive.

    I got this hard drive on sale and it transferred all of the files on 3 computers to one simple location in less than an hour tops! It's so convenient to have this in my life, I'm never without my files!

    I have purchased several external hard drives in recent years. This Toshiba slim drive is better than most. It's small, easy to carry and fast (USB 3.0). It does what it's supposed to do - hold data.

    I was initially concerned that this would have to be formatted for my Mac, but I just plugged it in and used. No fuss at all. I took pictures from my wife Macbook Pro to my Air without a problem.

    I purchased this for my Xbox One so I would have additional storage. After connecting to the Xbox, it took 30 seconds to format and it works like a charm. Affordable and very simple to set up.

    A fully portable drive for a reasonable price. It is small and sleek. With my only complaint being the vibration and noise it makes while being turned on, but ultimately it is well worth it.

    I love this external hard drive for a couple reasons! 1. Speeds are super consistent! Averaging 70mb/s on large sequential//non-sequential transfers (Basically entire hard drive copies) 2. Looks are fantastic as well! 3. Aluminum body for strength while in storage. (Come on now, this is still a standard hard drive, doesn't matter the body material, you drop this thing... its toast!)

    I can't say enough good things about the Canvio drives. I have been using them for hard drive backups for several years. They have proven fast and reliable plus they can be easily encrypted if you are concerned about privacy of your data. I should add that they travel well and work just like new even after being unused for a long period. I recommend them to both friends and family.

    This works really well for me. My computer is almost 6 years old, and seems to be on its way out. I bought this to make sure I don't lose all my pictures and documents and such. It was easy to use, and didn't take too long.
