Product DescriptionToshiba's range of portable external hard drives epitomizes its belief in enhancing yet simplifying our lifestyle: artlessly remove the external hard drive from the package and just 'plug and play.'As the Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive was designed to be placed on the desk or taken on the go, careful attention was invested in the overall aesthetic and technology. To the touch, the sleek and highly glossed ergonomic design fits neatly in the palms of the hands or can be slipped smoothly into the pockets or even in the small internal sleeve of a briefcase. An anti-slip underside ensures that that the external hard drive stays fixated to all surfaces but can be easily and quickly removed. Last but not least, Toshiba's shock protection and ramp load technology helps protect your drive from unexpected rough handling.

Rating: - Please Don't Buy
I've never had a problem with Toshiba products which is why I purchased this drive. Unfortunately it is junk. I'm using rubber bands to hold it together. I would secure it permanently but I need access in order to realign the drive so I can plug in the interface cord. Very poor quality. I see now why it is unavailable.
Rating: - Works intermittently even after Toshiba repaired it
Other reviewers have commented on the clicking sound--it means the drive isn't reading or writing data correctly, as I found out the hard way. Also the drive sometimes loses its connection to the computer, often in the middle of data transfer. Toshiba repaired it under warranty and just a week later, the clicking and connection problems came back. This is the last time I'll buy a Toshiba hard drive, because I need reliable backup storage.
Rating: - Toshiba 200GB Portable
The Toshiba 200GB portable was a perfect backup drive. It is built very sturdy and does not need an external case to protect it. The drive does very fast downloads and the extra capacity ensures that the 30 GB of files can be saved multiple times.
Rating: - Toshiba hardware is good. NTI Shadow software is awful.
I've been a big fan of Toshiba products for a very long time. So, using previous purchases as my guide, I bought this unit to back up my files.
In the first week, I was very happy with the unit since it worked exactly as promised. I installed the NTI Shadow software and did a handful of back ups successfully.
However, after a month or so of use, I started having problems with the software. Every time I'd go to back up a large file, the process would die with an error message. ... Read More
Rating: - A wonderful, trouble-free accessory
This is a nifty little portable HDD which is a perfect accessory for one's notebook computer. Its best attribute is its trouble-free nature. It is powered directly from the USB port, so no clunky power supply to lug around. You just plug it into the USB2 port on your PC, and it powers up and works. True plug-and-play.
No matter how big we get the Hard Drives for our notebooks, they seem to fill up fast. This external hard drive is small enough to carry around with one's notebook, and is ... Read More
