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.

      Posted .

      Thank you for the review, Bigowitz, and sorry to hear that you ran into trouble using your Canvio Slim II hard drive.

      I understand that you already returned the product but for the benefit of others reading this review I just want to point out that this drive is compatible with any hardware and OS that supports USB storage devices, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and non-computing devices such as game consoles and cable/satellite boxes. Devices that don't support the NTFS format will need to reformat the drive but that is easily done.

      Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the trouble. Toshiba
