Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Canvio Slim II's ease of use, ample storage space, and compact size. Many appreciate its affordable price and fast transfer speeds via USB 3.0. Positive feedback also highlights its lightweight and sleek design. However, some users experienced compatibility issues, particularly with Mac systems, and found the included software less than intuitive.

    There's nothing wrong with this external drive except the capacity. For my needs, I need 1+ TB of storage, and if you are looking for something like this for use as a backup drive, you'll probably want the extra space too, if only for a few more bucks. Keep in mind, all the preloaded utilities and software take up some space from the start, so you aren't getting all 500GB, so if it's a close call or you aren't sure, consider the terabyte drive.

    I bought an external hard drive from a different (big name) company. It was OK. I bought the Toshiba external hard drive for a different project. I was impressed with how much easier it is to use the software to backup my computer. The backup process is easy and uses clear text and super clear and easy to understand graphics. (With the other brand, I wasn't sure I was doing it the right way.) My next external hard drive is going to be a Toshiba. Very impressed.

    It's a good hard drive for simple storage. My only problem was that it will fall out my computer, if i'm using it for long periods of time.
