    I would recommend this drive to anyone who needs portability and dependability, at a reasonable price. This is my second Toshiba drive and I have never had a problem.

    Excellent portable drive

    An Excellent portable drive for the price. I purchased this when it was on sale. It hold a lot of data and it's very reliable. This is my second one. I use to by another brand of drive that gets burned out in 6 to 10 months. This drive goes to sleep mode when not being accessed, and this will prevent the drive from burning out.

    Started out great, crashed

    This was one of the cheaper ext. drives. It started out great, worked well with Mac OS. One day though it just crashed. Wouldn't recognize on my Mac to let me open it. It also was a rather flimsy metal casing. And brushed metal actually scratched easily :( don't be swayed by the "cloud storage" offered either. Nothing special. I suggest one of the other plastic encased toshiba drives. I've had much better luck with it.

      Thank you for the review, Dave, and sorry to hear that you had ran into a problem with your Canvio Slim II drive.

      I understand that you prefer the Canvio models with plastic casing but just want to assure you that the quality of this model is commensurate with those.

      If your drive has crashed you can initiate Toshiba's warranty replacement process at acclaim.toshiba.com anytime within its 3-year warranty.

      Thanks again for the feedback and sorry for the trouble. Toshiba

    So Far So Good

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My portable drives tend to go out right after the warranty expires, soo... at least for now, so far so good... it's a good looking drive that also feels solid (unlike the WD's that I've had).

    Love it. It's smaller than I thought. Which is great for me. It's compact in size and does the job. We mainly use it to store photos.
