- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013Took a dive and ordered this hard drive right after it was released. I'm very glad I did.
PROS:
The hard drive itself is constructed very well; it has a very sturdy feeling metal casing that looks very high quality. It is very slim and small in dimensions, roughly the size of a modern smartphone. It also has a neat LED feature that is blue when connected to USB 3.0 ports, and white when connected to USB 2.0 ports. The device draws power from your USB port, so no external power supply is needed. Toshiba also includes a micro USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 cable, so you can immediately plug and play at the high speeds USB 3.0 has to offer.
Transfer rates with this device are very quick. I'm seeing write speeds of around 120 MB/sec for copy/paste folder backup. I also did a full system backup (about 165GB) in about 25 minutes.
This device also comes with this cool software called pogoplug. It's normally a $30 software package that allows you to use this hard drive or any hard drive as a cloud storage device that you can access from any other computer/phone/tablet using WiFi or data connection. I haven't messed around with it a lot yet but it seems like a pretty useful program and a neat addition to this product.
CONS:
I gave this hard drive a 5 star review because of its great construction, quality, and high speed transfer rates. That being said, the backup software included with this item is pretty terrible. Not only is it painfully slow, but did not allow me to successfully create a full system image backup, which is a very basic feature. Supposedly this software is capable of this, but I was unable to get it to work and tech support has not been able to help me either.
Of course there are many free backup programs available for personal use, so I ended up finding a new program to use. Now my backups are super quick and very easy to complete.
Overall, I would highly recommend this portable hard drive. Sure, the software isn't great, but it is very easy to download other great backup programs for free.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015The Toshiba Canvio Slim II is a small and stylish external hard drive that get the job done with great speeds. I've had mine for about 3 months and I constantly use it to store my iTunes Library to free up space on my MacBook Pro's HDD and store photo's I've taken with a DSLR and edited with Lightroom. Setting up a library for iTunes and Lightroom is extremely easy and I'll provide an instruction to both at the end of the review.
Pros:
Quickly transfers files (check specs on Amazon for exact numbers)
Sleek, stylish and functional
Blue indicator light that illuminates when plugged in
Cons:
The USB cable included is specific to the external hard drive and fairly short (about 14 in.)
There's still one big factor to keep in mind and that's reliability during an extended amount of time. I've only had mine for two months and I'm very happy with my purchase but according to other reviews this is a solid external drive ideal for handling media such as music, movies and photos.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2014Capacity: 1 TBColor: BlackVerified Purchase3-24-2014, RevB.
Looks cool, works fine, packaging is hard to open...
I was being extremely careful, despite this, I managed to ketch the edge of the HD cover and now it doesn't sit flat.
I can't see how a 5600RPM HD (slow), could have speeds faster that ~100MB/s, even when on USB3 - as reported by others here???
ATTO Disk benchmark reports (USB3): ~107MB/s - about what's expected.
My fast HD* using my MB's SATA2 (300MB/s), is not limited to SATA2 speeds, but to the HD transfer speed off the disk. Per WD data, the true HD speed is 135MB/s, and I get 125-140MB/s, using ATTO. Using this data point, it seems like ATTO is providing the correct speed on the (the reviewed) Toshiba drive.
My conclusions:
Its fine for use intended - Making a backup of my primary HD. It is slightly slower than the WD Blue HD (WD10EZEX), using an USB3 enclose, when doing the same backups via the same USB3 connection. Unfortunately this disk died (why I bought the Toshiba BU drive).
---------------------------------------------------------
* Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black) speeds.
I have two separate PCIe cards providing USB3.0:
-- #1 card, PCIe2.0, x4 USB3 2 port card, includes SATA3 (not used, HD too slow).
-- #2 card, PCIe2.0, x1 USB3 4 port card (2 external) card. Both are the same speed for this Toshiba drive. For other devices, I get different speeds up to 150MB/s. As such, I only trust up to 150MB/s. I forgot the brands of the cards.
ATTO reports, on USB2.0 (MB), 32MB/s (avg between read/ write speeds), this is about 480mb/s, I think.
My computer:
HP-Elete-8000. 3.33GHz duel core, 16GB RAM, Windows 7Pro. WD Caviar Black 1TB, All software (drivers) is up to date.
