Toshiba Canvio Advance Plus 2TB Portable External Hard Drive - White

This was a great value for the price. It's durable, perfect in size, was simple plug and play, and came with two cords -- one for USB and one for USB-C, which was more than I expected. I purchased this for a friend, but once I received it and got it all set up, it was really hard to let it go and turn it over because it's a nice drive, and I would have enjoyed keeping it for myself.

The drive has a good rubberized surface that is rough, making it very easy to hold and grip, and is anti-skid when placed on a surface. It has a full 4 TB's of space and I encrypted the drive using Veracrypt whole disk encryption and filled it with about 3 TB's of data, mainly very large (around 100 to 300 Gig each) backup files. It's holding up without any issues thus far. I've copied the files off of it a few times now to test it and so far no issues. Very highly recommended!

I bought this to get all of the photos from my phone and off of my old laptop before I upgraded. This device was able to store all of those photos/videos and managed to use like 15% of the overall space. I intend on using this for some years to come. Make sure to keep the cord because it's essentially irreplaceable.

great storage for iphone. just plug in and move the files/photos over to the drive. good solution for a backup or out of storage devices. would buy again.

I was fortunate to get this hard drive at the old price, and not the new pricing. Memory and data storage has significantly increased over the past several months. While every retailer was quick to hike prices up, including Amazon, Walmart lowered them in a move to clear inventory! This has happen to me on various occassions. Lesson don't buy Amazon, buy Walmart!!

I have a few of these drives. Two smaller size (2TB) versions are dedicated to photos only or family history only. I have three of the 4TB. I have two computers and use a 4TB for each one's backup using the built-in Time Machine application. Because I am a little paranoid, the remaining hard drive is used to manually copy everything - docs, pictures, applications, etc. - from each system 'just in case'. Have I recommended these? Yes, in fact, I've given them as gifts!

The Toshiba HDD itself is good and has a better deal vs other; but its own storage back up software is not that useful nor straightforward comparing to original WD sync / back up software yet unfortunately WD stops that support.

Do not use the software provided from them. It has a locker in it that means it can only be used on the computer you are using. In my case I wanted all the information C drive and files photos etc as I was worried the computer was about to blue screen, so I could re-install it on another computer. Called them, they answered quickly and told me they had just been made aware of this a week ago, told me to delet their drive, and completly delet the software app and it would then formate in the Windows 11 already on my computer, which it did. I used the Ntfs I think formate as it alllows you to take the "Snap Shot" at the bottom to copy the entire c-drive, and then after I was able to download all of my files and photos etc... It is fast, it came on time, well packaged and it works. Its not a thumb drive and takes a bit of up curve.

needed this item and was delighted to find a Toshiba product offered but it never worked, connected, or turned on. could not access anything using it. I expected it to be warrantied. please replace it or refund my cost. thanks!

unfortunately this one was delivered with the seal broken and when plugged in it only showed 31gb of storage instead of 2Tb. Normally they're fine but apparently this one was tampered with. Formatting did not help
