New is NOT always better!

I already have 5 Toshiba Canvio drives, bought November 2013 (HDTC610***-1TB), February 2014 (HDTC610***-1TB), September 2015 (HDTB220***-2TB), February 2014 (HDTC610* ) **-1TB). 2016 (HDTB310***-1TB) and May 2017 (HDTB320***-2TB) and I've never had a problem with either one so I figured ordering another one wouldn't be a job. NOT CORRECT. first, even though the listing says HDTB320***-2TB, I got HDTB420***-2B. I thought it was just a newer model so I accepted it as the Toshiba Canvio 2TB is…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Appearance

Take it. Currently. good for computers and accessories

Anyone with more than five PS4 games needs this product. Whether on disc or downloaded, games take up a lot of space and the 500GB that comes with a standard PS4 is nowhere near enough. Before I bought it, I had at least ten games that I couldn't play because I didn't have hard drive space. I've currently downloaded about 20 games and have 1TB left. Setup was easy and took no more than 3 minutes. After a few months it's still working great. Didn't notice any difference in download speed.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Used the hard drive to back up my computer files. Suddenly failed after very light use (less than once a month) - most of the time the drive sat on the table unconnected. ow Does not turn on, does not blink when connected. Tried with a different cable and on a different computer - to no avail. Lost my data - very disappointed! I do not recommend.

Pros
  • A little above
Cons
  • Reliability

Great price and ride

Purchased 3 months ago. Main applications: bittorrent, media center (Kodi and VLC), network storage (images, videos, programs), personal home cloud (Tonido). The drive worked great, I installed it on the computer and dropped it (less than 24 inches) from the top of the computer to the floor twice, and no sound. I see that this drive is running for a very long time. Unlike other drives I've had in the past, I've never lost a file, picture, or video. Stress test, run 30 torrents with download…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • I'm worried

Used with Channel Master DVR+ and works great

Canvvio Basics 2TB Portable Hard Drive Review - This 2TB hard drive was purchased for use with our Channel Master DVR+ for TV recording. It was an easy install, power cord and USB cable, and the install is complete. After that, it became transparent and starts when the control unit is recording or playing content. The Channel Master DVR+ can record 2 different channels at the same time when playing a pre-recorded show, so the speed of the hard drive is obviously sufficient to process three…

  • Quality Construction

Backup, more than enough storage for me.

I don't want to keep everything on my computer. I lost too many things when my computer dies and I can't access the storage. I regularly back up my files to this portable hard drive. I even used it for work sometimes. I have photos, videos, music and various documents. It has saved my life when I have to reformat or when the computer dies without warning. I'm nowhere near filling the memory yet, but I like that I have space. I even bought a case for it.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

The worst of the worst, but at a premium price. Typical Toshiba

Junk.click click click click.CLACK (the sound when I smash it on concrete) Buy at your own risk. The 2nd died today, he is 1 year old. 1.2TB saved. Toshiba isn't just selling you a good name: they're selling you a piece of junk and a lot of frustration at no extra cost. 240.00 for 3 Toshiba drives. How to run a business: MAKE IT FAST. Can't wait to take the hammer to another Toshiba.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • For pensioners
