I purchased this product because my Toshiba laptop was having issues and I was needing to send it in to the Toshiba repair depot a third time for repair. I used this device to do a complete system backup so that I could restore my computer to it's glory when it came back.

None

Waste Of Money; Worthless

i use this on the wiiu. i bought the white version for my white wiiu. it works perfectly. it really is plug in and play. no problems at all. matches wiiu perfectly too. even has same blue led. would recommend for sure and would buy again.

This is a well priced hard drive with lots of storage. I am your average computer user and had problems with using it to back everything up. It would be helpful if it came with clear instructions on ways to use it.

Attractive Design; Compact; High Capacity; Quiet

A bit confusing to use

These 1TB Drives from Toshiba are great little drives. Their small size is amazing compared to some others, and I have always had better luck with the Toshiba Drives than some of their competitors (WD, Seagate). I am using these drives on a server that only has USB 2.0 and they work great.

Great little drive, fast and sleek. Drive let down by pre-loaded software, particularly Toshiba's password tool.

The Toshiba Canvio Slim II offers almost everything I want in a portable hard drive. It's sizeable storage-wise, thanks to a 1TB 5,400rpm spinning drive, speedy thanks to USB 3.0, and offers a surprising number of features for a product with such a minimalist aesthetic.

Stylish design conceals formidable 1TB storage capacity; USB 3.0 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

USB 3.0 only; No encryption solution

In our file-copy test, whereby we hustle 30GB of data over its fat USB 3.0 pipe, the Toshiba took second place overall with a time of 10 minutes, 34 seconds, which was almost two minutes slower than the WD drive, but faster than the Adata unit.

Sizable capacity; great software, affordable

Cloud storage trial didn't work; no specs stand out

Efficient, basic device well priced device which seems well made and 3 year limited guarantee is not to be sniffed at. Hopefully longer lasting than the WD products I have used and is quite compatible with my i-mac and Time Machine.

Very easy to use & to configure to iMac via disk utility; It is small and robust & does not need an external elect; supply, just USB unlike my 2 previous WD essential ext drives that have totally failed; Basic storage for pics/music/documents

1st time 4 hrs to back up via Time Machine; Lack of software makes use more intuitive unlike WD where you can see and ID files quite easily so retrieval may be a bit more difficult - but they are there

The Toshiba Canvio Slim II offers almost everything I want in a portable hard drive. It's sizeable storage-wise, thanks to a 1TB 7,200rpm spinning drive, speedy thanks to USB 3.0, and offers a surprising number of features for a product with such a minimalist aesthetic.

Hard drive capacities are on the rise and only a few days back, we tested the Seagate Momentus 750GB , an internal hard drive for notebooks. Today, we're looking at something all of us could use, an external portable hard drive.
