    • Great Storage, Easy to Use
Color: Black Capacity: 4TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 4TB to store my growing collection of photos, videos, and work files. It’s been really reliable so far—fast transfers with USB 3.0, and plenty of space to keep everything organized without worrying about running out. I like that it’s compact and easy to carry around, which is perfect for when I need to take my files on the go. The plug-and-play setup was straightforward, so I didn’t have to fuss with any complicated installations. The only slight downside is that it uses a USB-A connection, so if you have newer devices with USB-C, you might need an adapter. But overall, it’s a solid external drive at a good price, and I’m happy with my purchase. ... show more

Fast, Reliable, and Compact — Great Storage Solution! 💾💚 I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB external hard drive, and it’s been working perfectly! The setup was super easy — just plug it in and it’s ready to go. The transfer speed is fast with USB 3.0, and it handles large files without any lag. I use it for backing up photos, videos, and work files, and it’s been reliable every time. It’s lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to carry when traveling. The green color is also a nice touch — bright and easy to spot in my bag. Overall, it’s a great combination of performance, portability, and style. Definitely recommend if you need extra storage or backups! 💾✨ ... show more

    • Good Quality
Color: Red Capacity: 2TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
This product works very well. It downloads data very quickly (obviously the amount of time it takes will be based on the amount of data you are backing up). Except for the easy to install security software which isn't required for use of the product, there is no other set up. Just plug in and start using. It does have a very unique cable, so be careful to not lose or damage the cable. ... show more

    • Reliable Portable Storage – Fast, Compact, and Easy to Use
Color: Red Capacity: 2TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
The Toshiba Canvio USB 3.0 portable hard drive delivers everything you need in a compact and dependable storage solution. Plug-and-play with USB 3.0 (also fully compatible with USB 2.0), it offers data transfer speeds up to about 5 Gb/s (~100 MB/s in real-world usage). Despite its small size—typically around 78 × 109 × 14 mm and weighing under 150 g for 1 TB/2 TB variants—it feels solid and durable, perfect for travel or everyday backup . The built‑in shock sensor and ramp-loading technology add an extra layer of data protection. I used mine to back up photos, videos, and large files—and it performed flawlessly. No external power needed, no setup required—just plug in and drag-and-drop. It’s also affordable and comes with a standard one-year warranty (some models include 3-year). Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, everyday external storage. ... show more

    • Good drive for gaming and overall use
Color: Black Capacity: 2TB Style: Gaming Pattern: Hard Drive
Solid drive overall. The write speed to fill the drive is notably pretty slow but the read speed is good for most PC gaming. No setup required at all is nice and USBa connection allows it to be used conveniently with pretty much anything you want. Small size and few performance issues makes this preferred. ... show more

    • Works well and looks great - read for Apple/Windows compatibility
I bought this for my sister. In terms of size and looks, this is a winner. In terms of speed, I've used it with USB 3.0 in my laptop and it was pretty fast. If you need a hard drive to carry work around or as a backup, this seems to fit the bill pretty well. My experience with hard drives is that you cannot tell in advance how well they will hold over time, so I have nothing to say with respect to reliability. Update: my sister needed to be able to transfer files between a Mac and a Windows PC. In order to do that, you will have to re-format the drive as it comes formatted with a format that is not writeable on a Mac. The format you need is ExFAT, and from what I have read, it needs to be done on a Windows PC or it will not be compatible on both sides. To format the drive, connect it to a windows PC and do the following: 1) Open up Windows Explorer and right-click on your drive in the sidebar. Choose "Format". 2) In the "File System" dropdown, choose exFAT instead of NTFS. 3) Click Start and close this window when finished. Your drive should now be usable on Mac and PC without limitations! UPDATE: Some comments after reading other reviews. Hope this helps you... * NEVER use a single hard drive as a backup. They fail unpredictably! I've had hard drives that worked for years and others that broke quickly. The same manufacturer can have batches with different quality. If you are going to be using a hard drive like this to backup your files, I suggest getting more than one. * Don't use cheap backup software included with a hard drive. Use Time machine on MacOS or Windows file history on Windows. They work well and are free. If your needs are more complicated, then look at the first bullet and buy better backup software. * For photos and videos, besides backing them up on a hard drive, I upload them to Google Photos (free) and Amazon Prime photos (free with prime for photos only). These are very important for me, so I like having extra copies. * For music, you can backup your library using iTunes backup (if you have it on iTunes) for $25/year. * For other important documents, you should use a cloud drive for backup. Unless you do specialized work, the rest of your data should not be that big. ... show more
