Toshiba Canvio Flex 2TB Portable External Hard Drive USB-C USB 3.0, Silver for PC, Mac, & Tablet - HDTX120XSCAA

Es lo que necesitaba

Just what I wanted !! Moved some large tutorial videos off my computer, easy peasy !! Works great !

I purchased this external hard drive to back up my Macbook Air 2000. Rather than purchase a lower-priced item that would require reformating for a Mac, I upgraded to the Canvio Flex. It worked perfectly. I didnt have to reformat and the cable fit my Mac perfectly. I logged into Macs Time Machine and it was seamless. Great product.

This product is frustrating and unreliable. Bought to back up several of my computers, I experienced weird errors and the inability to transfer or save modified files back to this drive. While attempting to back up and older Dell, none of the target files would transfer due to a volume dirty error. Yet my older LaCie drive handled this task easily. When I used Adobe Acrobat to combine several of the files on the Toshiba drive, the resulting file would not store back on it but had to be written to a different drive. Trying to transfer 93 GB of files on the Toshiba to the 483 GB of free space on the LaCie, I got numerous errors for too little memory, or device not specified. In short, this drive can SOMETIMES back up files, which are then unable to be transfered to a computer where the files can be used. I deem this drive too flaky to be useful, and it will be returned as soon as I can find a way to back up this lousy backup.

The Hard Drive was easy to install and worked well from Day 1.

Preforms properly on both Apple or Windows systems.

Es lo que esperaba

The set up was extremely obscure. Had to call a technician who went through over a dozen steps that I wouldnt have known myself. In the end it wasnt even compatible with my computer as promised.

an important feature was omitted, that is there is no automatic backup. that is an important feature.

I back my Mac up to this drive. No problem, portable and efficient, runs in the background and I don’t notice it. A great solution.
