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.

    My computer needed to be wiped clean when I took it to the Geek Squad. The Technician suggested the Toshiba External Portable Hard Drive. I hadn't used one before and was anxious about buying the hard drive. But it was on sale, plus the Tech recommended it so I agreed to purchase it. The Tech showed me how it worked and I am embarrassed at how simple it is. What a good buy at a great price!

    I plugged it in followed the directions and was able to save everything from my old laptop on my first try. This is the second one that was purchased and it works better than we expected. Look forward to using it to save other information. Excellent.....

    I bought this external hard drive for my wife's laptop. She had a lot of files that needed backing up and it fit the bill. It is quick for non-powered usb hard drive. It did not lose connectivity while transferring files. Quick for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0

    This device allowed me to go between my hp and apple products without a problem. I have a lot of family photos and videos that I wanted to make sure we're protected and so I could free up my PC. No problems yet and has a stylish look also.

    Not a bad little thing, but the program it comes with is slightly annoying in that it will constantly tell you to back up your computer, regardless of how tiny it's storage is. You can just cancel it or leave it be as long as it's unplugged. Of course, I guess I COULD uninstall it... Other than that, it gets the job done and it wasn't too expensive.
