3 out of 5 eggswill disconnect on macbook

Pros: Fast, quiet, cool, small, light, good cable, needs no Y cable on MBP mid-2012 (USB 3.0) (canvio date 08/12)

Drive came with "Mac Driver", Tuxera NTFS for mac.dmg to install. worked well but didnt use much, reformatted GUID for bootable clones.

Cons: The drive will "disconnect" about once a day, cannot be ejected not even by Disk Utility, the only way is to shut down and start back up. files can be read but not written nor trashed, error -50. I don't remember whether that was already the case when still NTFS formatted, or not.

Other Thoughts: using the drive for hourly carbon copy cloner backups of a macbook pro mid-2012 (USB 3.0, 250 GB SSD, Mountain Lion). The backup takes about 7 mins and does not slow anything down. It works great, apart from disconnecting.

1 out of 5 eggs2 bad in 4 months

Pros: When they work, they work

Cons: On my second one of these and both have failed within a couple of months of use. Both for the same reason. They act as though they have been dropped and have damaged platters. Neither have been. both lost large chunks of data that can no longer be accessed. Both developed a constant clicking as the computer tries to access the data.

Other Thoughts: Avoid this model

4 out of 5 eggs2 Years... then failure

Pros: Nice storage space, low power usage, decent transfer rate.

Cons: I thought the drive failed while I was at a family event transferring pics to all my extended family, turns out the USB port was what was faulty and all my data is intact. I bump 1 egg not for the faulty USB port, but for the case being extra difficult to pry open without breaking it.

Other Thoughts: I thought I could pop it open and re-solder the USB connections on the PCB, but 1) they were closer than my smallest tip, and 2) I damaged the case so badly trying to open it that now I just need a new enclosure.

I still like the drive and trust this manuf, and honestly, I can't complain about the failure because I pretty much plug-cycle this thing 6x a week for almost 2 years.

2 out of 5 eggsDisapointed

Pros: USB 3.0 available

Cons: Broken within a year

Other Thoughts: Bought this as a backup storage device and was happy for a while. I had just built a new PC and liked that it was 3.0 compatible. It worked well for up to about 11 months. This is the point it started to click whenever I plugged it in and it wouldn't load. It worked well while it lasted, however I'm still disappointed it broke within a year.

2 out of 5 eggsProprietary USB connector

Pros: Capacity of 1TB for a 2.5" USB-powered external drive is excellent for today.

Cons: Proprietary USB connector. This is unacceptable - Toshiba is not Apple. Avoid this whenever possible.

Other Thoughts: Two stars for capacity and speed.

There are plenty of standard USB cables available immediately from other devices, from full A/B sizes to mini to micro. This is now the only proprietary USB cable I own aside from Apple products.

This drive will be either returned or given as a gift. Stick with Seagate and Western Digital external USB drives. No more Toshiba without standard connectors.

5 out of 5 eggsToshibarific?

Pros: Price, design, decent speed.

Cons: The end of the USB drive that plugs into the HD is not mini USB but that might be necessary for a 3.0 drive. It's been awhile since I bought an external HD so no eggs off for that.

Other Thoughts: I bought this to backup my DVD collection on and send to my brother, who is in the Army in Afghanistan, for entertainment.

5 out of 5 eggsGood External Hard Drive

Pros: Very lightweight, very fast using the USB 3.0. Within hours of delivery, I had my file server and both household computers backed up. Convenient that it powers through the USB. The Red color makes it easy to remember to use it or put it away

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I recommend others buy this External HDD.

5 out of 5 eggsNice little drive for the price

Pros: Some people have stated that this drive didn't work at first, or stopped working. I've had it now for 3 1/2 weeks and it's still humming along. I use it for my movies I save off my TiVo and I have plenty of space left.

Cons: The first time I plugged it into my desktop it hung while trying to load the software that ships on the drive. It's some proprietary backup software and something else that I will never ever use. So I ran a fast format on the drive, made it happy, and haven't had trouble since.
Really, really short, proprietary USB cable. The cable is about 12" long; clearly TOSHIBA intended this to be used on a laptop and not a desktop.

Other Thoughts: If you do not need backup software, format the drive before first use.

1 out of 5 eggsWarning: Drive will DIE

Pros: None.

Cons: Everything about this drive is a CON. It will un-mount itself and mount repeatedly, killing itself in the process. It will sometimes not turn on for days at a time, then suddenly work without hassle. I have 2 of the identical model drives, and one is somewhat consistent, the other is an absolute FAIL - you will lose your data if you use this drive. I've had to label one of them "DO NOT USE" and neither of the serials are recognized by Toshiba, meaning a product replacement isn't even possible.

Other Thoughts: I will never buy Toshiba hardware again.
