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.

    Have not had to use its backup download feature (and hopefully never will), only done backups so far. Basic directions are noty at all comprehensive for a novice like me.

    This unit proved to be very easy to use with a simple "plug and play" type format. It has adequate capacity for the use it is intended and is a convenient size to take with you!

    good hard drive for portable computer use but we bought it for Xbox use and only 40 gb can be used with an Xbox. So we wasted our money for the purpose of our purchase.

    The Toshiba Canvio Slim II external hard drive was recommended by the Geek Squad technician. It is very compact/slim/ unobtrusive, and easily portable while being a high capacity (500GB) drive. Preloaded with backup software that is makes it easy to customize backup options.

    Using the NT Backup software is not the most efficient. Hardware operates as specified at a good price point. Use the hardware with other backup software solutions.
