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.

    My laptop crashed, taking with it much of my music (work data was safe via network backup). When I upgraded to more memory and larger capacity hard drive, I KNEW I needed an external drive. Toshiba Canvio Slim was a fantastic choice!

    Ive only had the drive for a couple months but it has been reliable and fast. It connects quickly and downloads files fast. I have a Toshiba laptop as well so that might have something ti0o do with them working so well together.

    This product was very easy to use. I simply plugged it into the computer, followed the prompts, and had all my files copied that I wanted. The price was very acceptable as well.

    I need to back up my files and this item does that for me. The price is reasonable and competitive compared to others out that offer more memory for a higher price or less memory for a lower price. It was affordable and it works for me to do what I need it for.

    I bought this as a secondary backup external drive, but have ended up using it as my primary because it is lighter and smaller than my other one. It also feels very sturdy. I would recommend to anyone.

    I wasn't quite certain to purchase this Toshiba hard drive Digital being right next to Western Digital drive which I have experience with. I read the reviews, and looked at the lower price. Love it.

    I bought this hard drive to use to expand the fast dwindleing space that is on my Xbox one. It was a simple setup, because the Xbox had great software to easily format the drive to work with the Xbox.

    I used the drive to transfer photos from one computer to another. The drive worked just fine and the pictures are now moved. I have not owned this drive for very long so that is why the 4 stars. I cannot state long term life of the drive.

    I am by no means a techie so when I go to buy something I've been told I need to buy, I still fret over how confusing and difficult installing and operating it might be. With this hard drive, all i had to do was connect it with the usb cable and read very simple instructions. Bang! it works! It seems to be a little more microsoft oriented than MAC but as an apple consumer since the early 90's, I've come to expect that reality. With this product however, that is easily overcome by its inclusion of MAC instructions.

    I had to replace a drive the size of a toaster with this one which is the size of my wallet. I love not having to unplug a power cord and carry around a larger drive when transferring files from the studio to my pc. Files transfer at adequate speeds and the drive is USB powered. I've had no problems yet so I'm standing behind it as a great product at a nice price.

    Product is fairly easy to set up and use and would be better if it hadn't came with various options of "cloud" storage for purchase when I clearly just bough an $80 item for that exact purpose. Also, here's an interesting concept, why not Wait until some significant time has passed prior to asking me to do a review?! It has only been a few weeks. Can't say I would recommend it and can't say I wouldn't either. Has been great so far, but I have only plugged it in once and have yet to access The information that was uploaded. It may not even work.......so there's my review From having a product 3 weeks post-purchase. You're welcome.

    Very nice design, sleek and light. It has a cool led that changes white when plugged into USB 2.0 and blue when plugged into USB 3.0. Loved it but had to get a bigger size fairly soon.
