The highest-capacity external drive we tested, the Toshiba Canvio 2.0 holds up to one terabyte of data

Lightweight; Back up files; folders or entire system easily

Poor security

There may be faster out there, but my experience with Toshiba has been good and I stick with brands that I know... will likely buy a 2tb when the price point drops. Good units!

Slim, lightweight, and reliable; It's quickly seen by all my systems from win 2k to win7 64bit; It goes into standby quickly which keeps power consumption down (important for laptops, a pain for desktop use); Wakes up relatively fast.

All portable drives are a bit pricey compared to a replacement drive; Getting the drive in a nice case with a warranty commands a bit of a price differential, but it should be a bit less

I use this as a backup drive for my laptop. This is a great little hard drive, and most of the time these are on sale so you won't have to spend a fortune.

Convenient Interface; Fast; Lightweight; Reliable

We've since run various diagnostics on it, reformatted, Disk Utility'ed it but to no avail as it doesn't mount and errors out when...

I used this primarily to store my music from my iTunes library. But there is more than enough space for more files. Great to free up space on your computer hard drive. It's portable, so I can take it anywhere.

Easy to use

I needed this to back up my computer. I attempted to back-up with CDs, which I had done in he past, but it was taking was too many and getting really cumbersome. Plus I was unable to access information on old back-ups to CD.
