The price is right for the size of storage (500 gb) but the software included called "EZ backup" is awful. The interface is sluggish and not easily customizable. I tried it for a week and then deleted it. I use Microsoft backup, an old reliable version that I found to be easier, quicker and less obtrusive.

A pretty good product on first try. Will see how well it functions down the line.

Less than 6 months of light use and never transporting it, and it's dead. The drive clicks and shuts down. I forgot about the last Toshiba drive I owned that died just before one year. I guess there are just no good manufacturers of consumer hard drives left.
A quick tip I find helpful:
If you have the misfortune of already owning this drive, you'll know when it's about to go because it clicks very loudly and sometimes Windows will either tell you the drive is not recognized or that it needs to be formatted. Do NOT take any of the suggested actions of formatting the drive, and DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER YET. If the drive comes back after it does this, IMMEDIATELY follow the steps below to track the data on the drive and either give yourself a better chance with data recovery companies, or just to keep track of what you're about to lose. If the drive doesn't come back after you recieve a message from Windows, try unplugging it for a few seconds (you won't be able to safely eject at this point), turn it upside down gently, and plug it back in. If the head is stuck, this can OCCASIONALLY bring the drive back for long enough to get a list of the files.
If you're using Windows:
1. Figure the drive letter of your dying drive (I'll leave this to you, but if you only have one internal hard drive and one CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive, and nothing else plugged in, try drive E below)
2. Press the Windows Key + R at the same time (or go to Start and click on Run, or go to Start and type cmd.exe if you're using Windows 7 and skip step 3)
3. In the box that comes up, type the word "CMD" without the "s and press ENTER
4. In the black box that comes up, type "cd C:" and press enter, then type "cd \" and press enter
5. Remember the drive letter I told you to find? You'll need it now: In the same black box, type "dir /a /s E:\ >> drive_filelist.txt" but substitute your drive letter for E and press enter.
6. This will leave you a file on your main drive "Drive C:" called 'drive_filelist.txt' listing every file you had saved on the drive (if it stayed on long enough to finish).
With a list of the contents of the drive, you increase the chance of recovering your data if you can afford to send it off for data recovery services. If not, at least you have a list of what you've lost in case you're wondering what you had on the drive to begin with.

I purchased this item, as I was having serious problems with my desktop computer,
and needed to save information. This was easy to use, and I have since hooked it up to another computer,and all data seems complete. The only problem I encountered is that I was not able to utilize the preloaded software. Instead I did a copy and paste. I do not know if this was a problem with the Toshiba, or with my own computer. I would purchase this again if the need arises.

I bought this for my mother in January 2010 and now, 7 months later it has died-twice. The second time (about 10 days ago) she hasn't been able to resurrect it. She has called, submitted a service request online twice (24-hour turnaround time-HA!) and she hasn't heard anything from Toshiba at all.
