Fulfills a need and very well
||Posted .I needed an external HD to transport Virtual Machines back and forth to school each week. To my surprise I can run the VMs directly from the drive with no precept able lag a great time saver when trying to make the next class. I am sure I will continue to find it beneficial even after graduation perhaps as media storage when I work in the sound booth.

Gets the job done!
||Posted .Backing up data is simplified with the included software. It allows you to do a complete backup, backup specific categories of files, and includes a cloud option. My Toshiba laptop hard drive has never had a problem, so I expect the same of this unit.

So far so good
||Posted .This is my first Toshiba external drive, and have only owned it for a few months now, so it's a little to early say..good or bad. It looks and performs well, but like other people, I had problems using it on some computers (two of my newer computers); (device manager would see it, but explorer wouldn’t) Went on the Internet and discovered the solution, here it is: Problem solution: (Best solution for drive not visible or recognized) a b $ Windows 7 July 20, 2014 12:54:14 AM 1) Control panel===>administrative tools===>computer management===>Disk management 2) You'll see a list of Disks (and partition's) and DVD's (if you have any) and you'll probably see something like Disk 1 with no partition letter assigned 3) Right mouse click and choose Change drive letter and paths ===> add chose a letter from the drop down and the drive will be available. · http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=1200009802

So far so good, pretty simple & straight forward
||Posted .Got this for my mom as she wanted to free up some space on her iPhone, and only has an old laptop computer with barely 100gb of space. Instead of getting a 64gb usb drive for around $20-$30, I told her this would be a better investment for her use. She can save all her pictures from her old computers, iPhone, etc. It does have the Canvio Connect, but my mom wasn't too crazy about being able to access her content online (where she thinks it's too risky, "you never know"). I don't blame her, and will probably set up something for her to access the disk directly via team viewer or something. I didn't install much of their software onto the computer, just the main one to get it running (ran automatically I believe). I skipped the rest, didn't back up the whole computer or set up auto backups, but I know this device does do this. Instead we're just doing drag and drop for now :)

No problems
||Posted .This does the job advertised at a good price. I've only had the drive for a month, so I can't attest to its long term durability, but I've taken it around the united states where it has been bounced around in my bag and been dropped a couple times from a couple feet off the ground to carpet. Still works fine. I was concerned that it wouldn't do HD video well, because most portable drives like this run at 5600rpms and most video editors require 7200rpms to get good video. Also a lot of portable drives use green drives that spin down when you aren't pressing play, so you might get a delay when you press play before it gets up to speed. I don't know the specs on this drive, but I didn't experience any problems using this drive to edit HD video on AVID editing software on a laptop. So... no problems so far.

Perfect for my Xbox One
||Posted .Got this to have some more space on my Xbox One hard drive. The standard XB1 hard drive is 500GB and that starts to fill up quick since games are saved onto the hard drive and are anywhere from 20-70GB each. I bought this 1 TB external hard drive, and it's perfect! I can save games on the external hard drive and easily play games off of it, just as if they were saved on the internal hard drive of my XB1. Also, if I want to play a game at a friend's house and don't want to bring my XB1, I can just plug in the external hard drive into their XB1 and play away. It's a perfect investment!

Works great, but pogoplug is a joke!
||Posted .Bought this in preparation of upgrading to windows 10 because I wanted to remove all of my pictures and files and documents from the computer prior to installing windows 10. Works great for that, everything transferred over quickly and without issue. The pogoplug companion app that you get a "lifetime" access too that allows you to stream content on your hard drive to other devices with internet connection DID work.....it had some quirks to it but it did work. HOWEVER, after upgrading to windows 10 the pogoplug no longer recognized the fact that it was registered to my computer and would no longer allow me access. I even went into the pogoplug account settings and deactivated the original registration and reactivated it for windows 10 and it still didn't work. I tried contacting pogoplug multiple times and weeks later now and I still have not heard a reply from them!. bad customer service. I believe they refer to the service as a $49.99 value. So if you ask me, I got jipped out of $49.99!

Q: QuestionIs this device compatible with Windows XP?After the unit arrived, I noticed on the side of the box it said it's compatible with Windows 8, 7, etc. I have Windows XP installed on my laptop. Will this be a problem, or might it still work? Just wondering if I need to return the unit.....
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This should work just fine for XP, the only thing that may not work is any basic software that comes on the hard drive. The software is not necessary at all, I never use it.

Q: QuestionWhat's 1TB
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 1TB refers to the size. It is listed as 1 Terabyte, but in reality it is less than a terabyte. It is approximately 939-963GB (Gigabytes) because the US does their labeling in base 10 units. Example: 1 Megabyte is actually 1024 Bytes, but in the US we measure it as 1000 Bytes.. (Base 10 instead of Base 2 (binary)).
