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

I USE THIS FOR MY DJ EQUIPMENT CABLES DAILY! WORKS GREAT!

I auto back up my computers every night. I am pleased with the physical size and 4 tb capacity of this portable hard drive. I had an initial problem that took awhile to resolve, but turned out to be an easy fix. The problem was that my computer would not boot when the new drive was plugged in. The easy fix is to reformat the drive from fat to ntsf. Now, no problem. It would be helpful if this issue was addressed with instructions in the box. Without instructions, it took me awhile to figure it out.

Decided to get this for my new MacBook Pro M1, and it works well with time machine. Device comes with a native USB C cable (as well as a traditional USB 3 one) to go straight to the new macs without an adapter. Backed up around 200GB in a couple hours for the first time using Time Machine. No complaints so far, though ive only had it for a week or so!

Conducted too much research, a week, after my WD 4TB began failing. My 3TB music library is my life’s work. Unlike the WD I would have replaced with the same if the color had been available, this Toshiba drive is ready and its contents ready the very moment Windows boots. No waiting, no proprietary software. Should’a been using a Toshiba from the beginning. It wasn’t even in my top 3 brands to consider when I began the emergency replacement search. I’ve now recommended to others so I can give them my music library.

This external hard drive works as expected. So far no issues. I transferred data from my PC to the drive without any issues. Nice compact backup device.

Muy bueno estoy feliz me ha sido de gran utilidad. Lo recomiendo totalmente. Gracias

Super easy to use. Plug and play with timemachine on my mac desktop

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.

I always use Toshiba drives and Im sure Ill be just as satisfied with the function of this one as with my others. However, theres a design choice on the new one that drove me up the wall the first night I used it. The light on this thing is like having police lights flashing at my desk... my desk which unfortunately is in my bedroom... where I leave things on for overnight backups. Its brighter than all my other device lights combined and it flashes while in use. I groggily got up and put three pieces of washi tape over it (which solves most other bright light problems), but that did nothing, so I added a couple layers of blue painters tape... still too bright after 5 layers... so then I added a white file label over the top of those layers and that got things manageable. (If only Id had a more superior tape on hand!) Once Im sure Im keeping it, Ill dim it by painting over it. Its a fine drive, but I wouldnt recommend it for others whose tech has to be in their bedroom!

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
