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.

    I bought this to do file and system backups on a new desktop PC. I got it on sale and used Reward Zone points, so it was a real bargain. I had to check back twice to find it in stock because the Geek Squad at my store uses this model for their work with customers and recommend it for the purpose I have. This is my 2nd Toshiba external hard drive. Both had the included software to help manage the backup tasks. The first one is over 10 years old and still works fine. The software could be more user friendly, but it is certainly not difficult to use. I used a USB 3.0 port and the transfer speed is fine. The drive is quite when running, has a small footprint, and is easy to store or transport. If all you need is a reliable backup device at a good price, this is a good choice.

    I bought this device to replace my Western Digital external that was my Time Machine backup drive. I have another Toshiba external drive and it works wonderfully. I have no complaints with this drive and has met my expecations.
