We absolutely love this! It couldn't have been easier to use and move many items from our laptops and tablets. What a find! We had been looking for an easy way to store several things without having a lot of different things to move it all to helping to make our laptops quicker and have easy access to the items removed. This has made all of those wishes possible and we still have lots more room for storeage. I was looking into the larger model, however it was out of stock. What we discovered was that there is plenty of room on this to meet all of our current needs! Thank you.

      This unit does a lot of the work for you, in that it copies what is on the hard drive you are backing up, you don't have to transfer folders yourself,

      Comments about Toshiba Canvio Desktop 2TB Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (Black):

      I used this external hard drive to back up everything -- I mean EVERYTHING -- from the three computers by husband and I (both writers) have in our home office. I bought it when I decided to change from my old desktop to a modern, sleek, ultrabook. I backed up EVERYTHING on my desktop's hard drive, and everything from my former laptop. Then I gave my desktop to my husband (who had a dinosaur in his home office), and backed up everything on his dinosaur, too, as well as from his memory sticks. I now use it to do a weekly automatic backup from my new ultrabook. I haven't even begun to use all the space on this wonderful Toshiba external drive. My hope is to continue backing things up for the next 3 or 4 years, or as long as our computers last.

        • Q:

          can this be used in place of a traditional tower?
          Asked on 2/22/2013 by not a wiz from nj

          1 answer

          • A:

            No, this is an external hard disc drive, not a (tower) computer.

        • Q:

          will this drive work if it's attached to the USB port on my router?
          Asked on 2/22/2013 by MM from Maryland

          1 answer

          • A:

            It should. You don't mention which router you have, but if it supports sharing an external USB drive, then this will work. Some routers have as a requirement that you reformat the drive and use a particular file system so you will need to consult your router's manual for details.
