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'm already an owner of 3 year old Canvio. This one feels even better than the one I have. Instead of the plastic housing on my old one they covered it in aluminum. The only gripe (and it's very minor) is the LED activity light is a bit bright. Other than that I'm really enjoying this drive.

    I understand that sometimes things do not download properly, but I was pretty upset when a simple procedure turned frustrating only to find I had purchased a faulty hard drive. I went with a WD instead.

    This is an affordable external HDD with great design. It is compact, reliable, and has a good capacity of 1tb. More than enough for most people's needs. The device worked within seconds of plugging it into my computer. I, however, wasn't a fan of the bundled software.

    Bought this drive when it was on sale just for an extra external drive. Haven't had any issues with it over the past year that I've had it. I don't use it as much as others would but I don't see any reliability issues so far. I'd buy it again.

    I bought this hard drive as a backup for my PC and it has worked flawlessly for that. I simply keep it plugged into my PC and it backs everything up as there are changes to my PC internal drive. Great product at a great price.

    This product was needed due to a computer problem and the possibility of a loss of data. By having this external hard drive, we were able to salvage almost all of the data that would have been lost.
