Good external portable hard drive
05/13/2013
This review is from: TOSHIBA 2TB Canvio Connect External Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTC720XK3C1 Black
Pros:
When connected to a USB 3.0 port this drive is very fast. I am streaming content from this drive on my PC to my Apple TV and this drive loads HD movies so fast. After 1 minute of starting an HD movie, It will have already been 75% loaded. The 2 TB of space on this drive is also nice since I mainly use it for HD Movies.
Cons:
This drive will go to sleep after 5 minutes of being inactive. The start up is a little slow. If the drive is not on, and you select a song to play in iTunes, It will take about 5 seconds for the song to stop playing. The solution was to download free software to keep the drive from sleeping. Now it stays on all the time! This con was not enough for me to take an egg off and some people may actually appreciate the power saving feature.
Overall Review:
I would take full advantage of the USB 3.0 for this drive. If you are hooking this up to a USB 2.0 port, then you are kind of missing the point of upgrading to the 10x faster USB 3.0 technology. You would be better off getting a USB 2.0 drive since the prices have gone way down.
