 Great hard drive for Mac & PC July 29, 2010
Matthew G. Tann (USA)
It works well for Mac and PC. Sets up seamlessly for both. Great for backing up your HD!
 Worst product ever. July 28, 2010
C. R. Petermann (Carbondale, IL USA)
This little hard drive waited until I had transferred all my data onto it (and the amazon return window closed) before promptly failing (after less than 20 uses). I then got to find out that not only does Toshiba make a crappy product, but they have customer service to match. Totally unhelpful (if you can stand to stay on hold for hours at a time), they will allow you the pleasure of paying to ship it to them so they can replace it with the SAME drive within 30-90 days...thanks for being so prompt! I will go out of my way never to use or buy a Toshiba product ever again, and if you're smart you'll do the same.
Great little drive July 28, 2010
slockwood
It worked just as described! It is fast and you don't need any additional drivers for it to run. It is small and compact which makes it nice to slip in your laptop bag or purse if you use it a lot as I do for photography. I got the 320 g and I was surprised at just how small it was with such a large capacity! A great value for the money and I would definitely suggest one to use as backup.
Serious reliability issue July 27, 2010
Joonil Seog (stone)
I bought four of these and three of them got broke. They made weird clicking sound and my files won't be transfered or copied from these malfunctioning external hard drives. It was terrible experience and I will not buy toshiba drive again.
Electronic Briefcase July 27, 2010
Curt Collier (Fort Smith, AR USA)
I bought this little gem six months ago and, in the course of that time, have used it every day. It gets shuttled between three computers with three different operating systems (Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows XP SP3) depending on where I am working at the time. It installed flawlessly on all three computers and hasn't given me a moment of unease.
It stores ebooks, digital images, music, audiobooks, documents, presentations, spreadsheets and the occasional video.
The 320 GB capacity is HUGE and at no time have I ever been over 60 percent full.
It's inexpensive, reliable and (if it means anything to you) easy on the eyes sitting on your desk.
