Useful Tool for Portable File Delivery
||Posted .I needed a backup drive and a portable hard drive as I utilize a lot of different computers. This drive fits the bill and you don't have a lot of fluff added up front to take up your much needed space. I've included a picture of it working with my laptop.

32GB, Not 1 Terabyte. Not Happy.
Posted .This is the second of these drives that I've bought. The first was fine. This one only has 32GB of space. I'll be returning this one tomorrow. Since they had to order this one, I'll have to wait several days just to get a replacement.

Compact, in a nutshell
||Posted .I bought this item on Deal of the Day. I did read some reviews before purchasing, but it had a great rating on many reviews and I had planned on purchasing it because it was such a great deal. When I received the package, I thought they shipped the wrong item, because the box was so small. It turned out, the hard drive is much smaller than my Samsung Galaxy S5. It's tiny. I absolutely love that it's so compact, because it's easy to take anywhere. In addition, I uploaded all of my photos from my old and new laptops (10 years worth) and it didn't even make a dent in my memory. Love this product.

Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB AWESOME for Xbox One
||Posted .This Toshiba Canvio 1TB is awesome. I selected (white) as it matches my Xbox One. I love this Hard Drive, it transfers games FAST, even faster than the Xbox One. It was a very economical purchase, and the space it provides for Gaming, on the Xbox One is essential. I play a lot of different Multi-player games, so I love having them loaded on this hard drive and ready to go. Highly Recommended by an Xbox One Gamer.

Good external hard drive for Xbox One
||Posted .Needed extra memory to store games for my Xbox one. This external hard drive paired well with our Xbox One. It is USB powered so there is no need to plug in one more device into my already crowded surge protector. Reliable and no issues retrieving data.

Fast and compact external harddrive
||Posted .The Toshiba Canvio 1TB Hard Drive is an excellent product that is simple to use and very efficient. Just plug and play! Plug the Hard Drive via USB cable to your computer and within seconds a popup menu appears on the computer monitor allowing access to the device. Just drag files onto the file. The smaller the file, the faster the transfer but a large file moves pretty quickly. For example a 1 GB file will transfer within 10 to 30 seconds. A larger file will still transfer within a minute. A very compact unit that easily fits in one's back pocket. Excellent product and would purchase again.

Q: QuestionXbox OneWill this product work well as an external hard drive for an Xbox One? Is there any lagging or other problems?
Asked by Skyler.
- A:Answer Yes. My grandson wanted an external drive for his Xbox One and I recommended this one. Took less than 2 minutes to install. The Xbox recognizes it and requires you to format it to use it with the Xbox. It asks you if you want to format it. Say yes. Then you can select if you want your games saved on it. All questions and prompts from Xbox. There are instructions on the Xbox One website about adding an external hard drive. Very easy to do. My grandson has had no issues with it.
