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.

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.
