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.

    Good-sized HD for the price. Compact and seems solidly built. No benchmarks to measure it against, but accesses data at a good speed for my recording project that carries lots of big WAV files.

    Open box and reward points made it affordable to buy. Apple ear buds provide great sound. Fitness feature is fun to use to stay in shape. It holds tons of songs, pics and videos. Very long life battery between charges. Great product.

    Right price, right size, and very compact. Like that is turns itself off with no usage, that feature was a nice surprise for that price range.

    If you need some storage in a pinch, the reasonable price for this drive with usb 3.0 support is not something I'd hesitate running to BB to pickup. As with any storage solution, comes with their selected backup software installed, but they don't hide that.

    So far, so good. I use the drive as a Time Machine backup and it has worked fine so far. Fortunately, I haven't had to use it as a backup per se, but I have used it to recover accidentally deleted files, which is great.

    I love how small and easy to use this product is to use. It wouldn't work on my friends computer though. Not sure what computer he had but it was not a popular brand. Over great!

    Geek Squad said we needed to back up our date due to a failing hard drive. Hard drive was fine, it was a router issue. / While the back up is nice, it was unneeded and seems like just another way to be sold something.

    The screen on my old laptop died. I already was going to replace it as I purchased it in 2008 and it had MS Vista. My intent was to purchase an external hard drive to put all of my information on before I replaced it. I purchased this and a cable to see if I could use my HDTV as a screen (didn't work). So I took my old laptop to the Geek Squad and they were able to pull all of my info off of my laptop onto this. Ironically (but not purposely) I wound up buying a Toshiba laptop so no compatibility issues.

    As an older generation, not so comfortable with new tech guy, this external hard drive is really not so hard to use. Now I don't worry so much about losing data.

    No problems so far. I got it because it has a USB port of both 2.0 and 3.0. Just plugged it into my computer, was able to copy files onto it right away. These external hard drives keep getting lighter, smaller, and have more and more memory than you can ever use.

    I recently had my laptop in for a tune up with the Geek Squad. I purchased the hard drive to perform a back up of my system prior to doing the work. It is reassuring to know my files were protected from loss in case of any issue.
