Excellent external hard drive is fast, compact and very easy to use. Just connect it and that’s it. Ideal for backing up, saving photos, videos and important files without worrying about space. It works in a stable way and you can see the quality of the brand. Very good purchase for the price.

Awesome video storage
Wish I would have purchased this sooner. Off loading pics and videos on this was simple and fast. Perfect for storing my drone and gopro files on. Oh did i mention how easily you can transport this to another location plug it in and show family and friends your content. Must have. Also has a great device window that you can monitor the transfer and transfer rates.

It’s affordable and of good quality.
I bought the Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB external hard drive (model HDTB520XK3AA) to back up my files, and it’s been absolutely reliable. It’s truly plug-and-play — I connected it to my laptop and it was ready to use within seconds, no setup or software required. The transfer speed is great for everyday use — I’ve moved large folders of photos and videos with no problem. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry in a backpack or laptop case. I also appreciate that it doesn’t make any noise and doesn’t overheat. Perfect for backups, extra storage, or even taking files between work and home. Excellent value for the price!

Reliable, Easy, and Great Value
I’ve been using the Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB portable drive for a few weeks now, and it’s been flawless. It truly is plug-and-play—no setup, no hassle. I connected it via USB 3.0 and was transferring files within minutes. Speeds are solid, and the 2TB capacity gives me plenty of room for backups, documents, and media.For the price, you’re getting fantastic storage without compromising reliability. It’s compact, quiet, and exactly what I needed to expand my storage without complicating things. Highly recommend for anyone looking for dependable, no-frills performance.

Quick file transfers and portability
For 2 TB, this price was great. It works well with my HP laptop and transfers video files with ease.The only reason why I took a star away was because the cord to connect is proprietary, meaning it’s not a generic usb cord. It will connect to any usb port, but the port connecting to the drive is a special type of plug; it’s not usb-c. You need to take great care of this cord, because if you lose it, you will have to order a new one just for it.Other than the special cord, it works great and I love it!

Fine Drive
I’ve used two Toshiba external drives for many years now, one for my laptop and one for my PS4, and when the laptop seemed to be having more and more trouble recognizing its external drive, even after cleaning the plug contacts, I figured it was time for a new drive.This new drive does not disappoint. In fact, it makes such short work of backing up files that it became clear to me that the previous drive must have been dying for some time…I am amused too that the LED indicator light on this new drive doesn’t flash like a coquette blinking her eyes the way the previous drives did. Instead, this drive blinks the LED very slowly and deliberately while it’s working, as if to say, “I’ve got this; nothing to worry about!”At first I had a problem getting the drive to back up my laptop. The computer recognized the drive and the LED lit up solid, but my repeated command “Back up now” kept failing.I tried cleaning the plug contacts, rebooting the laptop, and even reformatting the drive, but still no successful backup. Then I discovered that Windows 10 makes you click on a “Stop using this drive” button (your previous drive) before you tell it to “Add a new drive.”Once I had gone through that little ritual, all was well. And indeed, I was amazed how fast the new drive backed up all my files, accomplishing in less than an hour what the old drive had taken a number of hours to do.All in all, this drive does its job, and I trust I will get years of use out of it, as I did the Toshiba’s before…

HIGHLY recommended. PLUG and PLAY. No instructions needed. Excellent value for $$
I am not a techie and I am here to tell you this is a SUPER easy plug and play device that requires no instructions, no help from teenagers, you simply plug it in and drag your files over. It is a life saver for your computer because it is not expensive and it will speed up your computer and in my case I will stop getting the fatal errors that I have no more memory. HIGHLY recommend.

مميز وسهل الاستخدام مافي تعقيد مجرد ما تشبكه على اللابتوب يشتغل على طول وسرعته جيده، خذ في الحسبان أنه في نقص بسيط مثلا بتاخذ ستة تيرا بتلاحظ انه يطلع معاك تقريبا 5.8 تيرا ، وهذه الملاحظة شفت واحد برضه كتبها، بس ما يضر مو نقص كبير .

La verdad me sorprendió, trabaja muy bien, es excelente disco duro, no se calienta, pasa los archivos sin problema, pero yo no me di cuenta que no es sólido y buscaba sólido, lo cual significa que hay que tener cuidado de no golpearlo o dejarlo caer. Pero cumple su función
