Just received this and was disappointed that the pre-loaded backup software is only for Windows. My operating system is Ubuntu, a version of Linux, so when I read on the box that the hard drive is only compatible with Windows I was concerned. I plugged it in and my system could identify the external drive and write to the disc using drag-and-drop. There was no drama getting it to work. It would presumably be even easier to use in a Windows environment.
Really, the description of the product should have specified the limited compatibility, but that is no reflection on the product.
Nice things come in small packages! The rubber edges give confidence that it is rugged. It’s fast and quiet. An LED lets you know what it is doing. The unit is wonderfully compact although the USB cable is a bit short.

This is the 3rd removable drive I bougut from Toshiba. I have nothing but praise for all three of them. This is exactly the kind of product I like: no fuss, easy installation, easy to use, reliable. I haven’t tried the competition (Western Digital), but I highly recommend the Toshiba.

931GB formatted capacity. Fairly fast for and external drive. No auto install backup software. Standard USB cable. Small size. Runs cool. What more could you ask for?

I’ve had the previous version of the Toshiba portable hard drives, and this model makes nice improvements. The case is smaller with textured rubber all along the edges. Also, this drives gets recognized faster than the previous Toshiba models, and data transfer seems faster, though I haven’t done any concrete tests. The colors are more appealing to me.
The only thing I don’t like, which others may or may not agree with, is that the LED light indicating power and activity is much, much brighter than the previous model. The previous model was a small, dimly lit dot, and this model has a larger rectangular LED that’s annoying. I won’t detract any stars from that because it’s very fixable with a small bit of electrical tape.
Overall, this is a very good purchase.
