Great Storage, Easy to Use
I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 4TB to store my growing collection of photos, videos, and work files. It’s been really reliable so far—fast transfers with USB 3.0, and plenty of space to keep everything organized without worrying about running out.I like that it’s compact and easy to carry around, which is perfect for when I need to take my files on the go. The plug-and-play setup was straightforward, so I didn’t have to fuss with any complicated installations.The only slight downside is that it uses a USB-A connection, so if you have newer devices with USB-C, you might need an adapter. But overall, it’s a solid external drive at a good price, and I’m happy with my purchase.

Reliable Portable Storage – Fast, Compact, and Easy to Use
The Toshiba Canvio USB 3.0 portable hard drive delivers everything you need in a compact and dependable storage solution. Plug-and-play with USB 3.0 (also fully compatible with USB 2.0), it offers data transfer speeds up to about 5 Gb/s (~100 MB/s in real-world usage).Despite its small size—typically around 78 × 109 × 14 mm and weighing under 150 g for 1 TB/2 TB variants—it feels solid and durable, perfect for travel or everyday backup . The built‑in shock sensor and ramp-loading technology add an extra layer of data protection.I used mine to back up photos, videos, and large files—and it performed flawlessly. No external power needed, no setup required—just plug in and drag-and-drop. It’s also affordable and comes with a standard one-year warranty (some models include 3-year). Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, everyday external storage.

Good Quality
This product works very well. It downloads data very quickly (obviously the amount of time it takes will be based on the amount of data you are backing up). Except for the easy to install security software which isn’t required for use of the product, there is no other set up. Just plug in and start using. It does have a very unique cable, so be careful to not lose or damage the cable.

It has a large capacity and is very manageable
I loved that it has a large storage capacity, it is very easy to carry, this brand is great because they tend to be durable , It doesn’t heat up easily .

Good drive for gaming and overall use
Solid drive overall.The write speed to fill the drive is notably pretty slow but the read speed is good for most PC gaming.No setup required at all is nice and USBa connection allows it to be used conveniently with pretty much anything you want.Small size and few performance issues makes this preferred.

Works well, sturdy, but remember it’s bulky.
This was sturdy and easy to use. It was a great value for the price. The data was easily read. It is portable and I like the design. The downside for me is the size, it does matter! I prefer a smaller device to throw into my bag and transport. Although this size means I am less likely to lose it.

Works Great!
I got this as a present for my game loving teen who needed more room on their laptop. They were able to move many of their larger games over to it. It’s even fast enough for them to play games off the device without having to move them back onto the PC.We were both shocked we were able to get such storage size at such a great price. It easily hooked up to their Acer laptop. They also love that they can take it with them to a friend’s house if they wanted to play games there.They’re happy, so I’m happy.

Otimo produto, chegou certinho e funcionando legal.Posso fazer uma ressalva aqui,mas nao irei dar nota baixa porque sei que a culpa nao é do fornecedor.Mas a empresa Tex Courier que faz entregas, pelo menos aqui na regiao centro e sul de minas gerais, é uma vergonha, jogaram o produto na garagem(repetindo: jogaram um HD externo no chao da minha garagem,nao sei se por causa da embalagem acharam que era um livro, mas o hd poderia ter estragado), em outra oportunidade me entregaram livros molhados, nao esperam atender a campanhia, e em algumas vezes parecem usar da má-fé, porque colocam que o comprador assinou a entrega quando na verdade nao assinou, pois desse modo pode ser que o proprio fornecedor saia prejudicado,uma vez que se o produto chegar estragado ele sera devolvido.Mas em relaçao ao HD externo da toshiba nao tem oq reclamar.

Hola la verdad es que me pareció un buen precio de este Disco duro lo compre en oferta, en si el empaque viene super bien seguro en su caja, a diferencia de los Wester Digital este no viene con funda de tela como los WD, solo viene el disco duro y su cable. en si el software se me hace super sencillo, como todo trae un software para hacer backups y por aparte otro para ponerle contraseña al disco, solo que antes de escribir algo en el disco y si quieres usar esa funcionalidad deberás formatearlo y encriptarlo primero. La verdad solo me interesa como backup y reemplazar un disco duro externo que ya tiene unos 8 años y ya empezó a hacer ruidos raros y el Cristal Mark ya dice que el estatus es malo. La verdad si lo compras en oferta es un exclente disco. la escritura y lectura son acorde al tope que tiene el SATA III. y el USB 3.0 es suficiente para llenar el ancho de banda.
