Pros: - This is literally the best external storage I've ever used.
- It's very fast (almost as much as an SSD)
- Very small and it looks good.
- Works as expected
- Solid and not fragile.

Cons: - the wire is a bit small.
- doesn't work on usb 2.0

Other Thoughts: This drive is not optimized for desktop use. It's also a bit expensive for what it is.

Pros: • It's a hard drive.
• I plugged it in. It works.
• It was on sale at a good price.

What else is there?

Cons: • Seems to get a bit warm with use.
• Cable is a bit short (18").

Other Thoughts: USB 3.0 is a plus.

Pros: This is an update to my previous review.

Cons: So, just so everyone knows, I asked did I have to give them a credit card and the tech I was working with said yes. Furthermore, once I gave them the card they immediately charged the full amount for the drive. Immediately I was charged what they call retail (`$75), and of course I will have to pay interest on that amount. Furthermore, I also have to pay shipping to them. This is all for two drives failing in less than a month...

Pros: None, really

Cons: Two new drives, both failed. What's worse is the support I received from Toshiba! I tried to get a warranty replacement, but their website would not recognize my serial number. Therefore, I had no choice but to call their support number, which routed me to hang-up instructions, until finally I called back, and found a way to get away from their hideous automated call routing system. Then I waited 30 minutes to get a tech on the line. The rep first claimed that this drive could not work on a mac. Once I got clear with him that it should, he insisted I format it as MS-DOS, which Macs can do, but of course, MS-DOS is a format that is pretty useless, and most certainly is useless on a Mac. When I explained to him that all I really wanted to do was get a replacement drive, he finally relented and gave me a website that is very difficult to get to. Finally,
you must enter a very specific way, or you won't be able to register your unit and get it repaired. A very convoluted process and it gets worse.
Believe it or not, the sites demands a credit card just to repair your drive! Apparently, you can't just ship it in, you must give them a credit card before you ship!

Other Thoughts: DON'T BUY! The support I received was awful. I would NEVER EVER buy another Toshiba drive!

Pros: nice design & small

Cons: should last longer

Pros: Set up was easy. Recognized the drive right out of the box.

Cons: Driver failed the second day.

Other Thoughts: Could just be bad luck, but I'm not impressed crashing after 24 hours of use.

Pros: This will be my second purchase of this particular item. I like it to the level <I purchased one for my son . Ihave and will continue to refer this product to others/ Thanks Toshiba. Good thing that people I know aren't careless or plain irresponsible enough to "accidentally unplug it". No hope for people that do and then blame it on the product.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: none

Pros: It's small. It's self-powered. And it was cheap.

Cons: Don't you dare ever, ever, ever accidentally unplug a Toshiba external drive without properly dismounting it or you will never, ever see your data on it ever again. Accidents happen, and you can count on Toshiba to fail your data.

Other Thoughts: Actively going to trash the Toshiba brand name when it comes to hard drives after today. Seriously had it with their drives.

Pros: It works on Windows 7 and 8, the operating systems of my two computers. It's a decent size (way more than I need, but it was a good deal when I bought it). There's no need for an extra plug. So far, it hasn't broken.

Cons: For how I'm using it, the small cord size is fine, but it would be nice if the USB port on the drive was something like a micro-USB or mini-USB so that users won't have to get a special cord if they want it longer.

Other Thoughts: I have been using it on a USB 1.0 plug, though I believe it may work on USB 2.0. So I can't really comment on speed except that I notice it goes to sleep after a period of inactivity. It doesn't take long to get it up again.

Pros: As described. Worked well out of box. Excellent price and quick delivery

Cons: None
