This is my second Toshiba Canvio external HD. The first has been working fine as a backup drive on my dual-boot Windows XP Pro/Windows 7 PC. It is a USB v. 2.0 drive but this latest drive is USB v. 3.0 compatible. I intend to use it as an external backup drive for a newly built Windows 8.1 tower.

If you're eager to try out Pogoplug PC, the Toshiba Canvio Connect is a good buy, especially if your computer supports USB 3.0. Otherwise, keep looking for better deals.

The compact Toshiba Canvio Connect Portable HDD offers decent performance and a generous set of bundled software; including Pogoplug PC; which turns a host computer into personal cloud server

The drive is not compatible with some USB 2.0 ports and its current pricing is noticeably higher than that of its peers

A cheap portable hard disk, but the included software needs refinement

Product as described worked fine out-of-the-box. I have had no issues with it to date but it is only three weeks since I bought it. If it proves to be reliable over the next 12 to 18 months I would probably buy another one. Easy to setup ; conveniently small physical size ; excellent capacity.

This compact little hard drive is an amazing deal for anyone who needs a reliable and easy to carry backup drive. My PC found it right away and drivers set up with no issues. Started filling it with my lossless music collection and have had no issues moving files back and forth amongst several...

The hard drive has a nice design and is quite compact. It has fast operations and is simple to use. My only problem is that the capacity it 698Gb as opposed to the advertised 750Gb which is disappointing.

nice design

not the advertised capacity

Its very fast and easy setup Best HDD out there in the market !!!! Its kinda heavy you cant carry with you always but still its compact compared to others in the market.

"Good that this external Hard disk does not need separate power , it will be powered by usb connection . copied all my hard disc data on my lap top on to the external hard disc .52 gb was transferred in about 15 minutes , Best price .

Very Smooth Process and highly impressed with the service.

First harddrive I've personally had fail on me in 21 years in the IT industry. Worked great for 5 months then just failed, not impressed. Got 2 of these, the other is running ok, but won't be trusting it for anything important.
