I would like to use it to store movies and info but the USB3 cable is not working. I have looked at all the local computer stores and there is no quick fix to get this cable.... looks like I have to find it on the net! Kind of upset!

I haven't used this much yet but the thing I like most about it is the compact size. Slips nicely into my laptop case and is powered by USB, which is highly valuable feature for me.

I use this as a backup hard drive to sync all of my files to. There were no problems at all, I just plugged it in and started my backup. I do not have USB 3 right now but am happy to have that capability on my hard drive.

Comments about Toshiba 750GB Canvio USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Black):
I use it to keep all my music and movies, especially since I'm sort of a pack rat. I like to keep most of my files and rarely delete anything. The product is very very handy.
