This drive is slightly more compact than Seagate's version, and has rubber feet to prevent sliding around.

This is a great drive while traveling and needing to storage data. It easily fits in a travel bag and there are no problems going through TSA security with it.

If you have a newer Blu-Ray player, this is a good drive for watching content through the DVD player without needing a power cord like in the 3.5-inch versions. It also powers off when a Samsung Blu-Ray player is turned off.

Just make sure you let it power down for a minute or so before moving it after use so the data on the drive does not become corrupted.

I wish this came in a 1.5 or 2 TB size because a 1 TB drive can be maxed out quickly with content.

I purchased this to use on my Mac Book Pro which has usb 2.0. Box said it was compatible with Mac and PC and works on usb 3.0 and 2.0. However, two trips to the Apple Genius Bar and they still could not get my MAC to recognize the drive. Finally determined that it would not recognize it because of the usb 3.0.

My mistake but the box rqmts led me to believe it would work. Now I'm out the money and in search for a new external hard drive.

I rated this a 2 as I don't know how well it works or how fast since it did not work for me, and I feel the box rqmts misled me. It does not work (read or write) on my MAC which I just purchased new 5 months earlier.

          • Q:

            Will this Toshiba ext. hard drive update automatically my computer files, over-riding what's in the current files, without my having to erase anything in order to keep any changes updated? (such as medical info, photos, etc.) so that I don't get duplicates as things are added or deleted in the course of keeping files accurate?

            • A:

              In the saving process the user has to override the older documents or folders with the newer. As items are saved onto the Toshiba External drive, such as a folder titled Medical, if there is already a folder titled Medical on the external drive, the newer Medical on the computer can replace the older Medical on the external drive. Another option would be to update files once a month and save as the date, deleting the older folder as the newer folder is saved.
