- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2018Have been very pleased with this device - it is small, easy to use (just plug in), easy to handle, and easy to carry.
The round corners make it so much easier to carry and handle. It seems like a mundane feature, but if you carry the drive with you in a backpack or briefcase, usability becomes an issue with all the square-cornered drives. Also, if you drop this drive, the round corners are less jarring and less likely to harm the disk.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017Nothing but great things to say. Sleek, quiet, small, and an amazing amount of space. 3 TB! Works immediately out of the box; all you have to do is plug in the USB. It's about the size of 2 iPhones put together. I have used my Toshiba backup HD on a couple of different Macs. Awesome product. Thanks!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018I am very satisfied with this Toshiba portable hard drive. Bought it for the sole purpose of backing up my Samsung 1TB computer. Plugged it in via USB and all the installation instructions were easy to followed on my computer. I bought the 3 TB at a nice price, with no hitches with the backup process and now feel a bit of comfort knowing that my files are safer. This drive works with both 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports, obviously will download faster if you use a 3.0 hub. My computer is 5 years old and I thought my USB ports were probably all 2.0 but turns out, I had one 3.0 USB so always good to check. One tip is that 3.0 USB ports are blue in the female inside part of your computer. So if you are not sure, check it out. It does come with the necessary USB cable, 21 inches in length and a very limited instruction pamphlet. The unit itself is very sleek looking, polished black that will show fingerprint smudges but small enough to wipe clean fairly easily. Dimensions of the drive are 3" x 4" length and width and the thickness of the unit is 3/4 inches in depth, so a bit larger that a deck of paying cards.
This is an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) so I guess another decision for shoppers will be in deciding between either a Solid State Drive (SSD) or Hard Disk Drive (HDD). If processing and overall speed of the external unit is key or if you are into gaming or audio or video production, you may want to consider the more efficient, faster and more expensive SSD Drives (solid state) that are out there. Just saying that there are faster drives on the market but you will pay for it. For my purposes, this Toshiba HDD is exactly what I needed at a reasonable price.
When powered up and on, there is a small, round blue Led light located on the front upper front of the unit.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018It is extremely well built and does everfything it says it can do. I'm using it as an external hard drive for my Blue Ray Films (70 Films actually) and Computer BackUp. It Works fine with USB 2.0 and 3.0 If you add a password with bitlocker, have a lot of patience, it will take almost a day encrypting. This on my second external Hard Drive Toshiba, the previous 1TB 4 years ago and I have not had any inconvenience or loss of data, so I recommend the toshiba brand
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2016I love Toshiba quality! This is a great drive and I have been working with computers and hard drives for 35 years. However, USB3 technology is not as stable as it should be since they keep reducing the power to the ports. I purchased a second cable that has 2 USB cables in one (the data and a power USB connector) It is very stable across many different computers with USB2, USB3 and USB3 Superspeed. It does not shut off and reconnect like other USB3 external hard drives often do (both 2.5 and 3.5). In my experience with all brands, Toshiba and Fujitsu (now owned by Toshiba) have the lowest failure rate.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016It works wonderfully as a mass storage device, I have not tested it in speed, but it works perfectly fine to stream movies from. I would have given it 5 stars except for one minor issue. It matters if your USB has enough power. My computer has USBs on the top that never had a problem powering my 1 TB hdd but could not power this hdd. It would show that it was connected to my computer but I could not access or use it in any way (Windows 10) It wasn't until I plugged it into a USB on the front that went straight to a USB header on my motherboard that it had enough power to light it up. Once that was done, it worked flawlessly. If you are having problems you may need to hook it up to a powered USB hub, but it is a good drive.
It is also a little thicker than I expected, almost twice the thickness of my 1TB drive, but it is still a very portable drive.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2017I bought this as a holiday gift for my son to use on his XBox One. It works great! Is holding up very well considering he move his XBox around every other weekend or more between houses. Has good speed too! (Seems faster than the internal drive for game load times.) very compact and easy to set up with the Xbox!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016I have purchased several prior generations of Toshiba external hard drives and found them to be reliable and convenient for synchronizing files between my various computers, including synchronizing files between Macs and PCs. I was attracted to the 3TB capacity of this, and assumed the same compatibility, given the statement provided in this on line description from Amazon: "Easy to set up and use with a simple and intuitive user interface. One USB connection for set up and power. Equipped with broad compatibility to store and access files from PC and Mac without reformatting. Includes Toshiba 2-Year Limited Warranty"
I have been trying to get this to work for a month on & off with no success. Finally I called Toshiba support, and was informed that I can use this either with a PC, or with a Mac, but not both. So - a big step backwards for Toshiba, in my opinion, and not clearly described by Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente disco duro
Siempre he usado discos duros de otra marca, Western Digital para ser exacto, super confiables, sin embargo por el precio en el que se encontraba este disco duro decidí darle una oportunidad y la verdad es que quedé muy satisfecho, la velocidad, tamaño y calidad está a la par de mis discos WD e incluso el terminado brillante y la luz azul al estar funcionando hacen que este disco sea estéticamente más bonito. Hasta el momento me ha funcionado perfectamente y espero que así siga siendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente opción para xbox one x
Lo compré para utilizarlo en mi consola xbox one y xbox one x y funciona a la perfección. El disco duro es muy compacto y no hace nada de ruido. En lo único que hay que tener cuidado es en la limpieza ya que al ser terminado piano hasta el polvo lo puede rayar, utilicen paño de microfibra.

4.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen producto
Hasta el momento llevo 6 meses de haber comprado este producto y no ha fallado, espero que siga asi... por lo demas es muy rapido si tu equipo tiene USB 3.0 y la capacidad real es de 2.89 TB es decir que se pierden como 100GB aunque no es mucho ya que son 2890 GB de espacio..... y llenarlo seria todo un record XD
