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.

    This is an excellent External HDD for the money. I bought it for my sister, and loaded it with family photos, etc, and she has been very pleased with it. Excellent for file transferal, supplementing a laptop, or backing up files.

    I would have done better to spend the extra money to get the 1tb hard drive for a backup drive. It servers my purpose though.

    Nice compact equipment. Somewhat slow, but could be because of my USB hub I have it plugged into. I did not like the backup software that came with it since it filled up my drive unnecessarily because of no option to save just new data in subsequent backups versus duplicating all files.

    Data storage devices are not exciting or sexy, so I don't have a lot to say about this product. It does what it needs to do.
