    Small portable hard drive with plenty of space for my college course, work, and personal files! Not to mention video and audio files. Two thumbs up!

    My computer needed a new crystal and did not want to repair it. However, my photos were not backed up and this was the perfect sized potable hard drive for what I needed

    Love that it can be used for a PC or Mac. I purchased a Seagate previously and loved it but needed something smaller for a client and this was in stock and it worked out fine.

    Bought this Canvio after using an earlier version of Toshiba Canvio external drive. This Slim II model is even faster than the earlier Canvio models. It is easy to use as a Windows 7 system image and can create a 60gb image in 10 minutes.

    It's quick, and it's quiet. I carry it in my bag for work, and these get quite a bit of jostling throughout the day. This is mac compatible, and works just fine!

    I had my own software so was really a matter of plug and play. That said I did set up my Mom's computer with the supplied software and her own drive, and it was an easy and intuitive task.

    This portable hard drive matches my Toshiba laptop and does it's little duty ! Sleek, chic, and works great! Transfers all of my data Super Fast and can stick it in any bag to take along with me on a trip. I did a lot of research before buying this item and the size, price, and Internal storage size caught my eye, and has not failed me yet. Highly recommend!
