FANTASTIC SMALL USB 3.0 DRIVE,
I just opened this drive, hooked it to my Apple iMac, opened Time Machine — and the mac reformatted the drive and started the 450gb back up. It took about 4 hours to complete (and i was using USB 2) and now I am safe, should anything ever happen to my mac.
The physical size of this drive is very impressive….. less that 2 decks of cards. Love that there is no power cord, just the USB. Yes, the usb cable is rigid and short, but that is an easy fix.
The drive is silent, has a small light to show activity.
I would highly recommend this drive to anyone needed inexpensive, compact, efficient back-up.
Remember… there are only two kind of computer users out there: one that have lost data and ones that are about to. BACK UP!!!!

|Fast and effective,
I saw a lot of bad reviews about the poor cable quality that comes with this Toshiba portable hard drive, but all you need to do is buy another USB 3.0 cable which are very cheap. $3 for a 1 meter long cable, so I added that to my shopping cart as well. I owned a previous version of a 500 GB Toshiba portable hard drive that done me well in the past with backing up some data. Although the device was very safe and never corrupted on me it still took some time to back up my files to it. It was using USB 2.0. So when I found out about this USB 3.0 hard drive and how much faster it was than 2.0 and eSATA/Firewire, I had to get it.
Moving/copying my files over to this hard drive is so fast, it takes even less than half the time it use to take me with my old hard drive. I go with Toshiba because they include back up software on the hard drive already, and the hard drive itself has an internal shock sensor. You really can’t go wrong with this one, just make sure you get an extra USB 3.0 cable to go with it. It’s backwards compatible with USB 2.0 but if you want the lightning speed transfers then make sure you have USB 3.0 on your PC or just buy a card.
