I down loaded my vhs tapes to my computer an then put them on hard drives to send them to my kids. I spent about 300 hours doing this project. I used 18 hard drives. I did not have any trouble with any of them. Some were Toshiba and some were WD. I bought 500 GB drives to start with but they were not big enough so I combined 5 sets of two 500's and bought 6 more 1 TB drives. All of the drives worked without a hitch.

On first use it took 5 tries before it finally stated my backups were complete and I was protected. After my Toshiba Satellite crashed due to it being in sleep mode when my battery ran down (Never let a Toshiba laptop go to sleep or put it in sleep mode) ; I had to use it to back up my system when all other attempts to boot up failed. When it finally restored my C drive it created different partitions( Causing me to lose a lot pf disk space) and uninstalled my antivirus programs and deleted all of my Toshiba (of all things) application shortcuts from my Start menu programs list. It also deleted some other items. I am not sure if I've found them all yet. The next time my computer crashed I couldn't get the BU drive to boot up my computer at all. So after I fixed my computer by other means I checked out the BU drive and found a bunch of missing files and folders that it had shown earlier were backed up. Due to NO HELP that dI could find ANYWHERE, I deleted all of the back up images and files and re-installed the software for the BU drive. Then with absolutely no data at all on the BU Drive, it showed that all my data was backed up and my computer was fully protected when there was nothing on it! Therefore; do not trust what the Back up program says! In 40 years of working on computers; Toshiba products have proven to be the most unreliable and worst I have ever encountered!

    Comments about Toshiba Canvio 3.0 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

    Excellent device, but you don't want to let it slip off your couch onto floor. 14 destruction. The cord held tight in the USB port, however the drive easily unplugged at the end of the cord, hit the floor and never ever worked again. If you buy one , buy a roll of duct tape and tape it to your laptop..

      Comments about Toshiba Canvio 3.0 500GB Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

      Worked right out of the box on Windows 7 pro 64 bit, USB 2 without needing to use the Toshiba software. Set up 3 partitions: NTFS, NTFS, exFAT using the Computer Management panel. Typical transfer rates: 10 MBs with USB 2. No problem creating System Image or backups on the NTFS and the exFAT works well with OS X.

          This seems to be a compatibility issue with the mountain lion os. other manufacutrers are also having problems. try this solution.

          Go to System Preferences/Energy Saver. Deselect the box that says "Put hard disks to sleep when possible". Close the lock when done.
