Review on πŸ’Ύ Toshiba Canvio Basics 3TB Black Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - HDTB330XK3CB by Adam Koodziejek ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It cant be worse! A waste of money.

What could have possibly happened to cause him to lose it like that is beyond my comprehension. Nothing was lost on the floor. Now that I've realized it needs fixing, I'll take it in for service, and I expect to pay a hefty sum. They cited "Mechanical damage" as the cause of the repair. I didn't take it somewhere or drop it. He simply didn't want to be a part of it any longer. After a few months and two repair shops, s. was deemed "Not recoverable." due to a connector being soldered directly onto the board. The built-in firmware may have crashed and burned, which occurs frequently with Toshiba drives. Definitely not something I'd suggest to anyone. Check out comparable cases - WD.

Pros
  • Cheap and plentiful in quantity
Cons
  • All the information on the laptop was recorded in detail before it was wiped clean. Putting off use by two weeks. As soon as I plugged it in, it stopped functioning. Strange sounds, clattering (what sound like needles), and intermittent flashing of an indicator light. Doesn't register on any electronic device. Details are provided below.
