TOSHIBA Canvio Basics 3.0 750GB USB 3.0 Black Portable Hard Drive HDTB107XK3AA

Pros: Great for my storage needs. Seems to write fast enough for me. AweSome product for the price.

Cons: Non yet!

Pros: Synced right up to the three PC's I needed to take sizable files from and moved the quickly.
Got it when it was on sale and there was a Toshiba promotion. $39.99

Cons: Cord is a little short. About 3" more would do the job.

Pros: The "expert" who had to write the "Response" utterly forgot to mentioned that industry uses measure of 1GByte = 1 000 000 000 bytes , while computer treats 1Gbyte = 1 073 741 824 bytes. Thus computer's count is actually 6.9% LESS than what the vendor states.

Cons: The loss due to formatting is actually below 1% of the total space available.

Other Thoughts: Same advice you gave to other!

Pros: Just have to respond to the idiot who posted the "Not 750Gigs" post, probably a couple below this post. This moron, who listed his tech level at "high," is utterly clueless. ALL hard drives are sold labeled with their unformatted data capacity. The formatting is what uses up a % of the drive's addressable capacity. Anyone with more than 1 tick on the "tech" scale would know this.

Cons: ...but this loser doesn't. The amount of space lost to formatting accounts for the addressable size of this drive. Period. And if the chump posting that message had the slightest clue about computers, he'd know that.

Other Thoughts: Lesson: remember that any cretin can post something on the internet while declaring themselves an expert. You need to learn to spot those people and then not pay them any attention.

Pros: Typical solid Toshiba quality, no issues, large capacity, USB 3.0 interface, portable 2.5 form factor with no need for additional power supply.

Cons: If you read the specs and understand what it is that you are purchasing I see no cons.

Other Thoughts: What amazes me is people who claim "High Tech Knowledge" and yet the fail to understand that hard drive manufacturers always report the capacity using the decimal definition yet OS's use binary logic, which equates to roughly 7% less usable capacity than advertised.
Nothing to gripe about since its been this way from day one and every manufacturer does it.

Pros: USB 3.0 works great

Cons: This is 698Gigs, not 750. As everyone knows, the amount of space on any storage device is never what is advertised. Usually ~2-3 gigs off, but to be 50 gigs short is robbery. 50 gigs, that is approx. 12,000 songs or tens of thousands of pictures that could be stored on there. Mis-advertising by 50 gigs is a lot. If you haven't understood my point yet, don't buy this hard drive unless you only want 700gig of space.

Other Thoughts: And of course they have their own special connector, not the universal mini-usb. Not something i looked at when i purchased it, but something to be aware of.

Pros: Terrific price

Cons: This drive lasted about 2 hours from when I turned it on but since I didn't open the package until just a little over a month from when I got it NewEgg won't offer an RMA.

ZERO support from them and t Toshiba support info on the NewEgg page goes to a 404 - page not found.

If you search you can find the main Toshiba site but they have farmed their support to the 'acclaim' site.

Try entering your serial and part number there for an RMA and it comes back with an invalid serial number.

The toll-free number won't let you talk to a human, it directs you to get an RMA on the website.

But the website says the serial is in valid.

So I tried a support chat with a NewEgg rep and they gave me a bogus serial number to use... and then said they don't open the packages so they don't know what my serial is and then told me I have to get support from Toshiba.

When I questioned 'Devin' on where did he/she get the serial number they disconnected my session.

I am aghast at the lack of service from NewEgg and Toshiba.

I rue the day I got this Piece Of Sh* as whenever I've had a Seagate or WD drive fail I can promptly enter the serial and get warranty status/RMA.

The 3 year warranty from Toshiba is a lie since you can't get service from them.

NewEgg should be ashamed that they are selling these things.

Pros: Very tight little package. The light glows white when it's plugged into USB2; blue for USB3. Very fast even in USB2. Easily over 120GB/s when parked on my USB3 hub, around 60 in USB2. Never has gotten very hot. Nice portable backup device.

Cons: Cord is stiff, but all the USB3 cords that I've seen are stiff. What's up with that? It makes it rough on the ports when the cords are moved around.
Why won't most of these companies put some kind of rubber fitting or feet on these so they don't slide all over the place, usually around on the top of a computer case. They're so light they barely stay in one spot. Just another reason for the industry to come up with a lighter, more flexible USB3 cable.

Other Thoughts: My other drive is a 1GB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB2. The adapter part on the end kept heating up after about a year of use, and finally burned out, so I had to transfer the internal drive to a cheap case. That's right, you can take the drives out of most of these and put them in any external case you please. Caveat emptor, however, you have to pay attention to the thickness dimension when you choose a case.

Pros: Of course it needed to be formatted for my Mac, but it works perfectly. I'm very pleased with the USB 3.0 speeds on my new MacBook Pro, too. The difference is striking when using it with an older machine. I like how it doesn't have obtrusive bright lights. I generally buy other brands, but I'm really happy with this Toshiba drive - it won't be my last.

Cons: None!

Pros: Easy to use. Fast on USB 3.0

Cons: Purchased 9/15/2012
Died today (12/05/2012)

Other Thoughts: During a file transfer to Windows 7, the device quit, and will no longer mount. It clicks and clacks while trying to mount.

Would have been 5 eggs if it hadn't died.
