Toshiba Canvio Flex 2TB Portable External Hard Drive USB-C USB 3.0, Silver for PC, Mac, & Tablet - HDTX120XSCAA

This drive stopped mounting on my mac after 5 months. Eventually, I was finally able to revive it by resetting the VRAM. Before I figured that out, I visited Toshibas website to initiate a warranty return, but I was stuck in a circular loop, and I couldnt complete my RMA request. So the alleged 3 year warranty is basically useless.

I would give this Toshiba external hard drive a six, but you can only give it a five. The Toshiba external hard drive comes with two different plugs. It comes with a USB-C and a USB plug. This will hook up to older computers, and newer computers. I have a new Mac Book Pro, and had no problem hooking it up to Time Machine. It has a 1 Tb hard drive, which should last for a long time. I would differently recommend this hard drive to anyone who needs to back uo their computer

Installed to my new MacBook Pro. First backup is time consuming, however time machine backups are quick. Nice sized device for portability. Great value

This drive is great for those that tend to be on the go a lot. I used this drive to back up all of my files from my desktop to bring with me when Im out for use on my laptop. I also have used this drive to install and run games (to preserve storage space on my laptops internal SSD) and they run just as good as on any other drive. The USB C connectivity is also very convenient to access and transfer files to/from an Android phone or Tablet, which I really appreciate. On top of that, its small size makes it easily pocketable which only adds to why I enjoy this particular drive. Definitely recommend this drive to anyone seeking a drive with plenty of capacity and some of the best portability Ive seen in a drive!

Excellent

Hard disk is pretty light and easy to carry in my bagpack. Now I wonder I should have got 5TB instead of 4TB

I cant really give a product rating because I returned the product, twice. The rating is all about Amazon which is really a 2. Side note: the U.S.A. based customer service people are stellar. Part 1 I purchased this product based on my sons recommendations. One of his Masters is in MIS so I trust his recommendations. It arrived in one of the famous white bubble padded envelopes which bothered me for an electronic product that was going to save my data. At the time I was not aware that this external hard drive does not have the moving parts like my older WD Element and Seagate models. Otherwise I might have moved forward, kept the product and been OK. Not knowing that, I did not like the padded envelope vs. cardboard box, plus, the previously purchased drives were individually packaged in a nice cardboard box with plastic clam shell type packaging. This Toshiba was in a cheaper cardboard box with flimsy cardboard inside. Like I said, I was not aware that the newer hard drives were different from the older ones so I contacted customer we are all overseas speaking English as a second language and repeat EVERYTHING you say service person., who , finally understood that I wanted a replacement sent packed in a box. After the usual 10 or 15 minutes for the whole process I was assured a replacement would be send with my request considered (shipped in a box with padding), and a return pick-up was issued. Part#2 A couple days later the replacement arrived in an envelope consisting of 2 layer of brown paper bag material with dots of this Marshmallow Fluff material. Needless to say more time was spent going through the overseas people to get a U.S.A. English-as- first- language person, explained issue and shot story - returned item and was issued a refund after it arrived at Amazon. Longer story, I was unable to take a clean hard drive on my working vacation. Now my plan is to get one in-person at Best Buy or other retailer.

Good seller & External Hard Drive

I have used this hard drive as a backup of my computer and it has performed well for several months. Time will tell if it lasts for months or years to come.

This is sold on Amazon as a solid state portable drive, but while it is indeed portable, this is not a solid state drive. it vibrates like an ordinary external hard disk, and Indeed, there is no reference to a solid state characteristic on either the packaging, the insert or the disk itself. This is clearly mislabeled.
