Nice external drive March 8, 2010 skimetron (Palo Alto, CA USA) This external USB hard drive is what Western Digital drives used to be. I own two WD drives and love how easy they are to use. But the latest generation WD drives include unremovable backup software. After looking for alternatives I found Toshiba drives.
This drive provides exactly what I want from an external drive. It's small, light and operates silently. It comes with a short (12 inches) mini USB cable which is easy to transport with the drive and works great with notebook computers. It was ready to go as soon as I plugged the USB cable into my notebook, with no forced installation of unwanted software. For those who need backup software, it's included on the drive but can be easily deleted.
The only negative I've found so far is the ferrite lump on the USB cable. This is an electrical noise suppression device which is sometimes needed on long cables. It adds significantly to the bulk of an otherwise ideal cable.
Nice External drive, works great. Not crazy about the backup sofware March 8, 2010 Reversemidasman This external drive is nicely styled and shaped. Generally around the same dimensions of other portable external drives available. It doesn't come with any cover or carrying case, so you will need to purchase that separately. Comes with connection USB cable that also powers it and preinstalled software called Backup Now EZ, version 1.27 specifically for Toshiba drive. The drive itself was very easy to use, just plug into USB port and use whether for backup using the backup program or for just an extra drive to store files, etc. Very good capacity for the price. Though, I don't suggest use the backup software that is installed in the drive. For me, I tried it and found it to bog down my system trememdously that you can't do anything else or it will just freeze up on my computers. Give it several attempts on two computers. Finally ended up not using this backup software. Backup software Tech support (NTI)was unresponsive when I emailed for assistance. Other than that the drive is responsive and useful for its purpose. Drive is yes, backup software is no, use something else for backup purposes.
Excellent drive for the price March 8, 2010 D. Kenney (NH United States) Greta drive. Easy install and a bit faster than the WD is replaced with this one. Relatively new, so no comment on long term reliability. Style is a bit different than other slim drives, but very compact and quieter than WD. So far - love it. Works well with BU software.
pretty external hd March 8, 2010 starbuckcubed (Florida) I've only had it a few weeks but it seems to be working great. It's very stylish and I love the size of it.
Cool Hard drive... even looks cool March 7, 2010 Loves Books (Utah) Fast hard drive - and reliable. Love it for transferring large amounts of data between systems.
