I have used other portable hard drive brands, but this is my first Toshiba. It's two weeks since I bought it and its very great. Neat appearance, very small size and weight, and special grip design around the edges that decreases the risk of dropping the drive and ruining it.
It is also very fast with USB 3 option. Much faster than my older drives that are all USB 2.

This product met all of my expectations.
My one complaint is that the USB 3.0 cable is very short, but I suppose that is part and parcel of the extreme portability it offers.

So far so good. Light, really portable and faster than my last Toshiba Canvio 2.0. But... I expected it was faster than this. It's like 2x faster than a USB 2.0 with peaks of 4x.

Comments about Toshiba 1TB Canvio USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Black with Silver Accents):
I was looking for an affordable, portable 1TB external hard drive that I can bring around with me easily without external power. I saw the design on this one and was immediately interested.
My main use for it are mainly storing and transporting video files to others.
I did expect it to run a little faster but given the specs, it is enough for what I need it to do.
