Great Drive, Great Price
With my original data backup drives starting to run out of room, I bought this drive to use as a backup for my iTunes music library and digital photo library. It worked immediately, right out of the box; I plugged it into my iMac's USB port, and it showed up on the desktop in a few seconds. Even formatted as it is for Windows, it would have worked fine for a data backup (music and photos), but I wanted to see if it would format correctly to use as a bootup disk for a Mac System backup drive. I w...

Drive failed in under a year, customer service NIGHTMARE
This drive worked fine for about a year, and now will no longer mount. Toshiba claims that there is a 3 Year Warranty on the product, which is clearly expressed on the box, and in the pamphlet. Well, I spent 3 hours so far trying to file a warranty claim on the product with no progress. I've called about 5 phone numbers and visited 3 websites, and I just keep getting redirected from one person to another. Nobody can help me, and they even refuse to escalate my call to a manager.The w...

Please Read if Your Drive Isn't "Recognized" Anymore. An Easy Primer and Tutorial.
Many people have complained about the Toshiba 2.5" drives (of all capacities and price points) quickly 'dying' after a very short time. This opinion is prevalent on both Amazon and other shopping sites and even Toshiba's direct site itself.I was in the same boat. My Canvio Basics failed to be "recognized" by my PC within 1 month. My 2-star rating reflects this.HOWEVER, this is directed toward those who believe "all [my] valuable data is lost forever". I conjecture that 99...

An all-around good deal and both Mac and PC compatible...
At the time of writing this review this drive was $54.99 - a friend needed an external hard drive to back up her Mac (Time Machine Drive) and I wanted to get it with free prime shipping and as was the cheapest that had prime. At 320 GB that is more space than most people are ever going to need for backing up a notebook/MacBook. The drive is USB 3.0 and 2.0 compatible so get pretty decent transfer speeds as you would expect.If you're a Mac user you will need to bring up the disk util...

Initial Review
I have had the hard drive for a few days now. I was surprised at how small it was when I opened it. I have a 500gb external hard drive that is a few years old and you have to plug it in and its rather large. This one is small, sleek, and fast. Much faster than my old hard drive. I reformatted it to FAT32 so I can use it with my PS3. Works like a charm. I was a little surprised that it didnt have any air holes for venting heat, but I transferred 100gb of data onto it and it was barely warm...

Saved my bacon! UPDATE: FAILED @ 16 DAYS
UPDATE: Got this drive December 6th and as of December 22nd it is dead. My review below is still sound advice. Sound advice which I failed to heed 100% and I lost a week's worth of valuable stuff because I didn't have enough layers of backup. Oy vey. I'm demoting this drive to 1-star from 5 because, solid warranty aside, this is clearly a very poor drive. DO NOT BUY. Forget USB 3.0, bring back the old USB 2.0 Toshiba Canvio that actually worked! I should have trusted the reviews but I was desper...

Should replace original cable with y cable
It seems that the original cable does not have enough power for this hard drive in some computer. I use usb 3.0 y cable as suggested from reviews of old version of this drive. This cable has 2 male connectors on one end. One extra male connector add more power to the drive only. You could buy from here or ebay, etc.[...]

Ok Drive
I bought this drive because it was cheap. It's the definition of "you get what you pay for." I plugged it in to my Windows 7 laptop and it opened for a few seconds. Then Windows said that the device has malfunctioned and it would not turn on again. I exchanged it for another one and the second one worked OK. It could handle about 20 GB worth of data in 1 stream until it shut off. This is OK if you're just transferring some files between PC's, but it could not be used for a full-system backup.
