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.

    Nice drive for regular backups (if not too big)

    It's a good drive for the money, has a 3.0 USB port so with my laptop's .0 port I get fast full disk image backups. The NTI backup software sucks, it gives you three over-simplified ways to backup, which it attempts force you to use when I just want to run occasional backups and I choose when. If you use your own, it works great. I got me Macrium Reflect Free to use instead and I was able to backup my full C: drive in about less than 1 hour while I watched a movie (verses letting it run all night while your sleep.) Just wish it had 1 TB or more in space, but It was a great price for a drive that fits my present needs just right (with no future growth, though).

    Had to purchase this to backup the laptop that had a broken screen because I was told it most likely would be replaced instead of fixed. Lost everything else that was on it except for what they backed up which was a nice fair amount of junk I had on the laptop. It was way over priced!

    This external hard drive is sleek and beautiful. It performs perfectly. My only change would be a cable that is more flexible. The drive is so lite, the cable easily pushes it around.

    This was a really easy product to use, especially since I'm basically computer/electronic illiterate. I plugged it in and it did the rest. Would highly recommend. I got it on sale and I think it was the right price.
