Q: Durability, does it break when falling onto floor?

A: It's a small item, with no padding, so a fall might damage it. That said, no one can answer this question because there are too many variables: the height from which it falls or is dropped, the nature of the surface it falls on / is dropped on, and whether it falls naturally or is hurled with velocity. I have seven of the older Canvios (I like to triple-back-up my stuff) -- bought them between 2013 and 2017 -- and I've never had a problem with any of them not working, or being balky, or falling (each comes with a short cord -- about 12" -- so the item has to stay near the laptop of desktop you've attached it to). I use them like giant thumb drive, and I back up my laptop every 11 days -- so the portable hard drives don't stay attached to my laptop but instead spend most of their time safely put away. Note that the oldest is eight years old and it's still fine.

Q: I want to move this between multiple computers to use for backup. That includes an older Win7 machine AND several Chromebooks. Are there any issues with using this device for them?

A: Hi there! This hard drive system requirement is only for Microsoft Windows 10,Windows 8.1, macOS v10.15/v10.14 / v10.13 Toshiba Support Angela
