    • Good for Backups
Color: Black Capacity: 2TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
I bought this Toshiba Hard Drive as I was not aware you could not, or at least I was not aware I could not, save a system image to a flash drive which I originally purchased (SanDisk). The drive I wanted to save my system image to needed to be formatted NTSF. I actually changed the flash drive to that and it still didn't work. Since I'm getting warnings that my laptop hard drive may not last much longer, I needed to make sure I have things saved. I'll keep the flash drive as I'm sure it will come in handy. But I bought this Toshiba HD to save my system image. A warning or note about this Toshiba hard drive. I have a USB multi port device plugged into one USB port on my laptop. This external Toshiba HD does not like being plugged into that multi port device. It kept turning on and pausing making a clicking noise. I had to unplug the multi port device from the laptop. I then plugged plugged the HD in directly to the PC USB port. Once I did that, all worked as it should. I've saved my system image without any issue. I also have an external DVD RW drive. I wound up needing that to create a repair disc as you can't save a repair disc to a hard drive. It was requiring a disc. ... show more

This external hard drive works exactly as expected. Setup was simple—plug it in and it’s ready to go. USB 3.0 offers fast transfer speeds, making it easy to back up large files quickly. The size is compact and lightweight, so it’s easy to carry around or keep in a laptop bag. It feels well-built and reliable, which is important when storing important files. The 2TB capacity provides plenty of space for documents, photos, and videos, making it a great option for everyday use or backup storage. Highly recommend if you need dependable, portable storage at a good price. ... show more

    • So far it seems to be good.
Color: Red Capacity: 4TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
This is an updated review since i had issues with my intial purchase, half of which wasnt an issue with this device. Read below for old review. I have gotten a replacement because my original was doa. So far this one seems good. Its functioning as expected. As a side note: this was my first time contacting amazon customer support. The person helping me did a great job. It was quick and not at all painful as i thought it would be! I was impressed. Old review:First and foremost the harddrive failed almost immediately. Now I understand that there are going to be issues now and again, so i just set it up to do a swap for the exact same drive. When my new drive arrived it wasnt quite the same. It was a Weezer cd. Now, i believe that to be a warehouse issue probably. However, now when i try to set it up to send it back for what i was supposed to get, it wont allow me. How frustrating. ... show more

    • It is an HDD and affordable
Color: Red Capacity: 4TB Style: Backup 2.0 Pattern: Hard Drive
If you get this for a good price and need it it is a good value for what it is. Just be aware this is moving drive not solid state so more for home or office use not travel. Also these drives are a bit slow compared to SSDs and the smaller ones like this use a form of storage that allows more data but slows it down. Do a bit of research on this if it matters. If you need speed or plan to travel with it spend more and get a portable SSD. If you just want a lot of space to store some stuff affordably this is a good option. ... 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
