External Hard Drive for IMac
I needed another External hard drive to store files from my IMac, so I bought this Toshiba Hard drive and it did the job. I had to format the drive in order to use. I've had it over two weeks now and I'm satisfied with the product so far!

Useful 1TB drive but choose the 2TB size if you prefer.
Plug and play using the USB cable provided. Recognised by Windows 7 PC. Note the model number for this item. While I know about 2TB drives, there are times it seems safer to use 1TB drives instead. The value for money changes but it's serving as a precaution against future data loss. While we can save thousands of images on drives such as this, it really proves safer to save video mp4 style files such as Internet downloads or Freeview USB flash drive recordings which were later copied to the Toshiba drives.
The PC can send and receive files using highlight, copy and paste or drag and drop actions. The PC can also create and rename or delete new folders. I use the XYPlorer program to view files, yet for new files such as webp and svg I use the Irfanview program and its thumbnails view. There are other file viewers which may help with file extensions such as mp2 and mp4 and the ts files. I have found that the Toshiba and the Seagate 1TB and 2TB drives are safer to use that micro SD cards and USB flash drives which may lock up files or cause problems trying to move or even copy to other drives or to the PC.
The very short USB cable connector for such external hard drives may cause problems but there are USB extension cables to buy if necessary.
Whenever buying eBay items, it helps to keep the original packing just in case this is required for a return of an item or extra manual or user guide details.
I look for 1TB drives at under £45 rather than pay an excessive amount as some sellers would ask for. If we set up a quick keyword search for 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and then SAVE that search then we get email alerts for future sales so this could help for many of our computing and Internet items.
Many of our cables are simply black or white but we can label these or the electric plugs for many of our domestic or office purchases.
I recommend buying the white flat 8-way antisurge power units with the individual on and off switches next to the inputs. There are PC programs we can download to protect our USB drives when we eject them. If used for Android devices then use the Settings App and select Storage and unmount storage drive.Read full review...

Amazing hard drive
This is a great portable external Hard drive, and it is easy to use. I didn't have any problems with my Windows laptop or with my apple machine.

Great little hard drive. Recommended.
I've bought Toshiba hard drives before and they have always been reliable. I recommend this hard drive, just plug in and off you go. I expected it to work well so the option I choose "better than expected" is a bit over the top but better than just "ok". Very pleased with purchase.Read full review...

Great hard drive
The external hard drive was manufactured by Toshiba and this is my second unit of the same make. What makes it super the Tosh backup software runs on their units, this just adds to my backup capabilities. A super reliable unit. Read full review...

You only need this one!
So neat in the palm of your hand plus it didn't crash or need reset when copying (into compressed format) over 150GB in one sitting. Every other drive I've tried has failed and needed a bit of hand-holding to accomplish this - Tosh' have done something a bit different with this one! ThanksRead full review...
