Received my package today as I was anxiously waiting for it. I am backing up over 300 CD's so I can declutter and get rid of them but I wanted to save my cherished music. This External drive promises to do this for me and I love that its portable, I can use it in my car or my phone. Music is on the GO. I transfered hundreds of files in literally no time. Its super fast, easy to use, plug and play. I didn't download their software. Doesn't seem I absolutely need it, so I don't know much about what that does. I'm just happy that I don't have to move with 20 boxes of CD's. I highly recommend this item and I do planned to purchase more for other files. Cheers~

Bought a new hard drive to store family photos and videos. Decided on the Toshiba because I've used their products before and I like the reliability. Item arrived promptly and installation/usage has been a breeze. Quiet, fast, reliable. No issues to speak of at all, works exactly as advertised. No frills, just gets the job done.

The media could not be loaded.
 I think it was good value for the amount of storage included. I like the colour and size. My only complaint so far is that the instructions for set-up should be in the manual. I have a Mac and it would not locate the drive. After finding product support on this page I followed video instructions which directed me to erase the drive. After that it worked and transferring files is easy. It is quiet and my large file transferred relatively quickly. I hope it holds up. I will update it if doesn't.

It works well. It's not the quickest drive but it's great for storage.

If you're new to external drives, it's quicker to download to your pc then transfer to the external drive rather than downloading directly into the drive. I learned that the hard way, so be aware of this lol.

Hard drive itself is great and looks cute, no problems there. The problem is the cord stopped working after about a month. I know it was the cord because luckily I had my old hard drive cord and when I used that, it was all good. I contacted Toshiba support to get a replacement cord and they told me to buy a new one on Amazon. Really unimpressed that isn't covered by warranty.

I needed a portable hard drive to store my large collection of photos, videos, and documents, and I decided to buy the Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB. I was attracted by its sleek design, its affordable price, and its 3-year warranty. The setup was easy, and the drive was recognized by my Windows 10 laptop without any issues.

The drive is very fast and reliable, and it works well with the Toshiba Storage Backup Software and the Toshiba Storage Security Software, which are both included for free. The backup software lets me schedule automatic backups of my files, and the security software lets me password-protect my drive to prevent unauthorized access.

The drive is very slim and lightweight, and it fits easily in my backpack or pocket. The plastic casing feels sturdy and durable, and the drive is very quiet during operation. The only minor drawbacks are that the cable is a bit short, and the drive does not have any rubber feet to prevent sliding on smooth surfaces. However, these are not deal-breakers for me, and I am very happy with my purchase.

I would recommend the Toshiba Canvio Advance to anyone who is looking for a simple and effective way to store and backup their files. It is a great value for money, and it offers a lot of features and performance for a portable drive.
