I don't know if I got a defective product, but in 8 months, it died! For no reason at all, they say. It would appear, but I couldn't access it no matter what I tried... it did nothing when I clicked on it. I couldn't even read it with Linux to retrieve my files. Its performance was average. Used for backup. I rarely used it. I took it to a technician to salvage whatever I could... I lost many files...

Did you find this review helpful? For years I have mainly been using Toshiba, but for some reason the latest generations of Canvio don't seem as high quality and are a bit noisy. I hope at least they last over time, as I mainly use them for backup and so far everything is good.

Purchase 19/8/17 for transferring movies, series, and files.
On 10/9, it started crashing internally, they replaced it and today on 10/4, I have the same symptoms again. The hard drive never fell, it didn't hit anywhere - it's unthinkable for this to happen.

Unbelievably tough, very small for sure. I use it as a second hard drive on my laptop and it fully meets my everyday needs, including gaming (not heavy games). The initial capacity is 931GB and it contains two driver files from the company.

Did you find this review helpful? I bought this specific hard drive because I liked that it didn't require an external power source. It was 3 terabytes and I found it at a very good price from a store on Skroutz. It is fast, durable, doesn't slip at all, and the cable is small and works great. I am very satisfied. I bought two Toshiba Canvio Basics 3 Terabyte hard drives from a store, as I mentioned, on Skroutz for 190 euros

I have had it for 2 years and it has not presented any problems. It does not overheat, has a process indicator light, is relatively fast and compact (see photo). The only possibly negative thing is that sometimes the disk can be heard slightly. If the volume is permanently set at 0/10, when it is under strain it goes up to 1/10. I bought it for 50 euros and I recommend it.

I bought it in early January 2018, so I have had it for a little while...
The pros so far (and hopefully in the future!) are as follows... EXTREMELY GOOD!!! Simply!!
+ Small (like a pack of cigarettes)
+ Build material... just OK... Plastic, but not fake!
+ Quite fast! (for photos and video playback, deleting, adding, etc...)
+ LED light
+ and most importantly..... NOISELESS!!!!!! Seriously... you can't hear it! And I say this because I had 3 others before this one!!
+ It doesn't heat up at all!!
I highly recommend it... especially for its price (52 euros)!!Translated from Greek ·- Speed

Okay, personally I was looking for something to store music, videos, and images so that I have a "Back Up" for them. It is good for this purpose and file transfer is relatively fast. It is silent and it hasn't heated up even when I connect it to the TV to watch a movie, which I think works for a longer duration. I am satisfied......of course, if someone is not sure, they can also get an external 2TB hard drive for an extra 20-30€

Did you find this review helpful? 15 days in my possession, it entered a front USB 3.0 port, I transferred data between computers, and I have filled it up about 2/3.
Absolutely no complaints.
It does what it's supposed to do.I am also an owner of a Toshiba Stor.e 1TB, and the reliability of the latter was my guide for purchasing this specific disk.
If I could find something negative, it would be the length of the cable (and on both disks, the older one is even shorter). However, this does not bother me. But it may bother some people, so be careful!
It sounds slightly when it starts up. And speaking of starting up, I should mention that after 1-2 minutes of inactivity, it shuts down on its own and takes 3-4 seconds to turn back on.Excellent and highly recommended!

I bought this specific cable as additional space for my PS4. I would like the cable to be a little longer, but other than that, it is fast and loads the same game faster (1-3'') than the internal hard drive of the PS4 personally. If someone wants it for the same or similar use, I would recommend "sticking" it with double-sided tape to avoid any accidents since it is very lightweight and can easily fall down... (I should add that it is quite silent - you can't even hear it)

Did you find this review helpful? Very good for the simple task I wanted, which is to gather all movies, series, and music on one disk and have easy connection from PC to portable devices, etc. Now, if I wanted to run programs, then I would probably consider it a bit slow.
With Windows 7 and 10, but only 64-bit systems that I have connected it to, I haven't encountered any problems. However, there may be compatibility issues with older systems.Translated from Greek ·- Durability

I have had it for about 2 years, of which one and a half years almost permanently connected to a digital TV receiver for recordings and PVR functionality. In fact, this particular receiver did not have the option to deactivate the PVR, as long as it was turned on and had a disk on it, it was constantly recording! So, since it endured such intensive use for such a long period, I am satisfied. And its speed, with USB 3, is very good.

If there is an external hard drive on the market with a size of 1TB that is worth its money and is an absolute value for money, then this drive is 100%. COMPLETELY silent, EXCELLENT design, fast, wonderfully sturdy construction, very slim profile, easy to transport, very good plastic quality, I have no words for this drive. I bought it for 51.86 euros and it really deserves much more and every last cent. Its feature of flashing a white light when running with USB2 and a blue light when running with USB3 is wonderful!!!
Do not pay attention to any "negative" comment, buy it without a second thought, there is nothing better than this hard drive. Five stars are not enough!!!

So far, I am very satisfied. I transferred all my files to it a few months ago due to a computer change without any problem. It is even very fast. I use it on a daily basis. I hope nothing happens to it because it has become essential to me.
