This portable hard drive features an internal shock sensor and ramp loading technology in order to keep up to 500GB of storage space safe and secure for your media, music and more.
The first unit I bought was bad out of the box. The replacement drive works great. It's electronics, so there will always be a bad out of the box issue with every brand.
The hard drive runs quiet, doesn't get hot, and transfers files quickly with the USB 2.0 speed. This item was plug n play all the way. You can use it straight out of the box as a hard drive and move files around manually, or you can install the included software and automate your backups. This unit powers directly through the USB port, so you only have the one cord to deal with.
I bought mine through Bestbuy.com and selected local pickup, so I got 500gb storage for $99. - a great value.
Overlooking the initial out of box failure, my experience with this Toshiba hard drive has been great. No regrets.
What's great about it: Small size, ease of operation, included back-up software
