Customer reviews
Nice, new model 
by .. JE (San Antonio, TX)
I've had the previous version of the Toshiba portable hard drives, and this model makes nice improvements. The case is smaller with textured rubber all along the edges. Also, this drives gets recognized faster than the previous Toshiba models, and data transfer seems faster, though I haven't done any concrete tests. The colors are more appealing to me.
The only thing I don't like, which others may or may not agree with, is that the LED light indicating power and activity is much, much brighter than the previous model. The previous model was a small, dimly lit dot, and this model has a larger rectangular LED that's annoying. I won't detract any stars from that because it's very fixable with a small bit of electrical tape.
Overall, this is a very good purchase.
Small price, large capacity by .. Amazon electronics buyer (Anchorage, AK United States)
931GB formatted capacity. Fairly fast for and external drive. No auto install backup software. Standard USB cable. Small size. Runs cool. What more could you ask for?
Excellent product by .. Reviewer from Palo Alto (Palo Alto, California United States)
This is the 3rd removable drive I bougut from Toshiba. I have nothing but praise for all three of them. This is exactly the kind of product I like: no fuss, easy installation, easy to use, reliable. I haven't tried the competition (Western Digital), but I highly recommend the Toshiba.
If you have a Mac.. read this. by .. VellsMaster ()
I've read an earlier review on this as to how to format the drive to use with a Mac.
Here's a recap:
1. For use in Windows only, no need to do anything. The drive is already formatted as NTFS. Mac won't read this drive.
2. To use with Mac and Windows. Format as MS DOS Fat 32, but you won't be able to use Time machine.
3. To use with Mac + Time Machine, Format as Mac OS Extended (Case sensitive Journaled). But you can't read this on a Windows system (read on below)
You'll find all these options under Utilities->Disk Utility.
What if you are like me, as in you have both Mac and Windows systems and you want to run Time machine on Mac.?
First use Disk Utility and erase the drive and format as Mac OS Extended. Use the partition tab in Disk Utility. Click on the + symbol on the lower left corner to create a new partition. Configure this as an MS DOS Fat 32 partition. Now you have two partitions on the drive, one for use with Time Machine and the other to share between Mac and Windows (Fat 32). You can configure the relative size of each partitions using the Disk Utility.
If you plug in this drive to a Mac, you'll see both partitions mounted as 2 different drives (you can read/write to both partitions).
If you plug this to a Windows system, you'll only see the Fat 32 partition.
Hope that helps.. enjoy.
Now I'll cross my fingers that this drive doesn't crash multiple times like my old Seagate!!
I need more of these... by .. J. Purdun (Missouri)
I completely ADORE this hard drive. I'm the kind of person that needs quite a few externals around... I like to have my stuff backed up, and I have enough data that 1 TB won't even hold what I've got. This was cheap and tiny, so I bought one for a friend and one for myself. I LOVE it.
I have had no problems at all. It works just fine on PC or Mac.
The only thing (and this is a complaint. Just a side note) that I could consider a slight negative of this product (which probably won't even matter to most) is that the drive is very securely in the case. If you wanted to be able to take it out to put it into something else (a laptop, ps3, etc), you would have to break the case to do so.
I would most definitely recommend this. It's an amazing amount of storage on a tiny drive for an amazing price. I know that I am most certainly get me some more of these lovely things...
