I use these drives for backup, I have a few of them. I had bad experiences with WD and Seagate reliability, but Toshiba and Hitachi have always been more reliable as internal drives.These Toshiba drives are reliable, never had issues with data integrity. However, you will find as the drive fills up, write performance degrades significantly, i.e. empty drive can sustain write speeds of about 90MB/sec but at 80% capacity you are more likely to get 10MB/sec. I have tried with both 4K blocks as well as 2MB blocks, the result is always the same. Slower write speeds are to be expected as the outer edges of a disk platter spin much faster compared to the inner sectors, but 10MB was slower than expected. Read performance however, both on the inner and outer sectors seems ... MoreI use these drives for backup, I have a few of them.

Read performance however, both on the inner and outer sectors seems to be fairly solid, i.e. slowest read I have seen is around 50mb/sec. These figures are all with bitlocker enabled, on a decent workstation.At this price it is by far the most reliable and portable archive solution. If you need massive I/O you probably should be looking at an SSD anyway.

The drive arrived quickly and well packed. However, the drive was not recognised in Windows and it turns out that it had an unallocated MBR volume with some data on it. To get it too work I had to delete the volume, then change from MBR to GPT then allocate drive number and format to NTFS. Now it works fine. I suspect you had used it with a linux system that formated the disk accordingly. A bit of a pain to fix but for many it would have been returned to you as not working !! Apart from that OK

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 ... MorePlug and play using the USB cable provided. Recognised by Windows 7 PC.

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.

I tried to copy hundreds of files onto this drive but they don't all get copied and some transfers are like that. Stops and starts will slow down the really big transfers unless we choose to skip files that aren't copied. From then on, it's pot luck what to do. The alternative would be less than a hundred files and taking note of any errors When the files permit the transfers using the move action then that's always pot luck, hence the safer option of copying files then verifying the number saved and their total file size agrees with the original ones. Right-click the files or the folder containing these, then select Properties or use a Windows Explorer-style approach and see the file details on the screen. While some sellers have websites offering installations, ... MoreI tried to copy hundreds of files onto this drive but they don't all get copied and some transfers are like that. Stops and starts will slow down the really big transfers unless we choose to skip files that aren't copied. From then on, it's pot luck what to do. The alternative would be less than a hundred files and taking note of any errors When the files permit the transfers using the move action then that's always pot luck, hence the safer option of copying files then verifying the number saved and their total file size agrees with the original ones. Right-click the files or the folder containing these, then select Properties or use a Windows Explorer-style approach and see the file details on the screen. While some sellers have websites offering installations, the Toshiba drives use a little USB cable and that can be inserted into the front or back panel USB ports. Due to the really large storage on the Toshiba drives, it is easier to save very large video files and PC program installation setup files onto these rather than millions of jpgs. Use programs that provide a safe ejection for USB drives and remember that some drives ought to be disconnected that way prior to switching off the computer. Reconnect later after Windows has fully loaded the desktop setup and various startup programs. Otherwise, the computer may not start properly and pause during the initial checks.
