I am a big fan of toshiba products because of the quality of hardware and robustness. Performance of the HDD is fast and good one. My first laptop was from toshiba and it is still working good without any issues. Later I bought a toshiba canvio 500gb ExtHDD which is 3 years old now and again working well. Recently, bought a 2TB ExtHDD due to extensive data storage needs, and I am again full of appreciation for the product. Its look and design is too good. And very easy to Handling. Service support of Toshiba is great and goodness.
It is fast, can handle large volume data transfer. I have pushed 1.6 TB in a go to test it out and it happened smoothly, also I did format it a couple of times and that was quick. Tested its compatibility on Linux systems and it was flawless. Executed Virtual Machines from it and all worked good. It was one of the economically cheapest options and my decision was good.
