I bought this external HD in January 2018 and I am writing this review in July 2019. It was for backing up my wife's Mac laptop which it did do until about 2 weeks ago. 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...

Excellent price/performance, and contains no proprietary bloatware so it can be used right out of the box in a windows/mac/linux/laptop/desktop/server context with no issues.

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.

I bought this product 2 years before. I think that writing a review immediately after you recieve a product is of no use. The product will work fine anyways. The hdd is best i have ever bought. It contains 2 modes. one for USB 2.0(white) and other for USB 3.0(blue). hdd is handy and light weight.

The high speed 5400 rpm hard drives are usually susceptible to data error especially if you carry it around, drop it or bump it while in operation but most new hard drives like Toshiba, Seagate, Western Digital have shock protection and recovery software to retrieve damaged files.

Works brillantly with my Toshiba Laptop

I have used other drives, but Toshiba to me is the most dependable and VERY easy to use.

Was looking for a 1TB hard drive, then found this. Way better option for the such a great price:) It was definitely worth it.

It a nice product .Stylish design conceals formidable 1TB storage capacity. connectivity makes it speedy, while preinstalled tools make it easy to back up and protect your data, and jump from PC to Mac without difficulty.The Toshiba Canvio Slim II is a good all-around portable drive, with lots of...

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
