Review: This is a great portable hard drive from a Toshiba - This is a great portable hard drive from a Toshiba, who in my experience have always produced some of the highest quality electronics. If I am in the market for any new devices, I will always check to see if there are options provided by Toshiba. The hard drive is about the size of a small slice of toast and about an equivalent thickness. The exterior is made of a hard plastic shell and there is one blue activity light above the USB plug that will be lit when running and blink when transferring data. The drive does not require any external power source and will start up as soon as it is plugged into a USB port. The provided cable runs at USB 3.0 speeds and is approximately 12 in long. The drive vibrates very gently, which is to be expected since this is still a physical HD - you would never notice it with the drive on your desk, I only happened to feel it while the drive was resting on my knee while I used it with my laptop. There are also four soft plastic feet on the bottom of the device to prevent slippage. As other reviewers have noted, the drive will shut itself off after a period of inactivity, which is great for the longevity of the device and I have not experienced any slowdown whatsoever when spinning it back up. The capacity out of the box for the HD is approximately 936 GB. The only point to note would be that this is drive is billed - correctly, in my opinion - as an external HD rather than a portable HD. Some other drives are designed to be taken around with the user and have additional design features that protect the drive from drops and jolts which are not provided in this product. You can still certainly take this device on the road, but use extra caution because I am unsure if this drive would survive and still function after a drop from hand level onto a hard surface. For the price and features, I am happy to keep it on my desk and be able to take it on the go in a pinch!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent 1TB HDD and good value for money
*by J***R on 20 May 2017*

This review is for the 1TB Canvio Basic HDD. This is a great basic hard disk drive. I already own quite a few HDDs from various manufacturers in sizes ranging from 20 to 300GB, however this is the first Toshiba branded item I've purchased. So far I've successfully backed up all my Dad's documents and emails (about 30GB in total) from a Windows XP PC via USB 2.0. This took about 10 minutes (USB 2.0 remember) and I was very happy with this performance. The black plastic case appears sturdy and features a white LED indicator. The supplied USB 3.0 cable is just the right length to reach the front USB port on a desktop without being too bulky to fit inside a zip-up case. I haven't used the USB 3.0 capability yet so cannot review that aspect. Like most modern drives it derives power from the USB port and this was absolutely fine. One bonus is the drive comes installed with only a couple of pdf user manuals. Personally I don't like HDDs that come with a suite of backup software that I rarely want to use and sometimes cause plug and play problems. Overall an excellent drive. I'm using this case: Caseflex Shockproof Hard Drive Case for 2.5 Inch Portable External Hard Drives - Black.
