Toshiba HDTB520XK3AA External Hard Drive 2000 GB

I was looking to purchase another HDD so I looked at my Amazon purchase history, found my last purchase of one of these and found a newer model. It is perfect. It is smaller but the same 2T like my old one which is still working perfectly. This one does seem faster. And the price was within my budget. I am very happy with my purchase.

I dropped my old laptop and did some serious damage to it, enough to need a new one pronto. The store was going to charge over $100 to upload all my data to a drive so when I saw I could buy this for less, I decided I could learn. Goodness, super easy to use, all my data is now safe and sound and already transferred to the new computer. I am so glad to have purchased it and now have a drive to use whenver I need one! BTW, very portable: lightweight, tiny, easy to pop into a small bag.

ottimo preso esclusivamente per Backup MacBook Pro per cui mi bastavano i 2TB la marca l'ho scelta perché avendo già altri 2 della stessa marca li ritengo più affidabili rispetto ad altre marche in mio possesso i quali mi hanno causato la perdita dei dati

Easy to use. Just plug into a USB port and start loading it up. I have photos saved everywhere and this allowed me to bring them all together in one place. I don't have to worry about my laptop dying or becoming corrupted and losing all of my photos. Great piece of mind.

I've used two Toshiba external drives for many years now, one for my laptop and one for my PS4, and when the laptop seemed to be having more and more trouble recognizing its external drive, even after cleaning the plug contacts, I figured it was time for a new drive. This new drive does not disappoint. In fact, it makes such short work of backing up files that it became clear to me that the previous drive must have been dying for some time... I am amused too that the LED indicator light on this new drive doesn't flash like a coquette blinking her eyes the way the previous drives did. Instead, this drive blinks the LED very slowly and deliberately while it's working, as if to say, "I've got this; nothing to worry about!" At first I had a problem getting the drive to back up my laptop. The computer recognized the drive and the LED lit up solid, but my repeated command "Back up now" kept failing. I tried cleaning the plug contacts, rebooting the laptop, and even reformatting the drive, but still no successful backup. Then I discovered that Windows 10 makes you click on a "Stop using this drive" button (your previous drive) before you tell it to "Add a new drive." Once I had gone through that little ritual, all was well. And indeed, I was amazed how fast the new drive backed up all my files, accomplishing in less than an hour what the old drive had taken a number of hours to do. All in all, this drive does its job, and I trust I will get years of use out of it, as I did the Toshiba's before...
