great if it worked:
Well afer my WD external NAS drive crashed, i wasnt going to touch that brand again. Toshiba offered a 3 year warrenty on this. That sounded to me like they were convinced it worked. And it was great...for a few months. Then i started randomly "dropping" I thought it was my computer at first because it was having problems, tried it in another and no luck. So i sent it in.

Does NOT work!!! And Toshiba customer service SUCKS!!!:

Then when I did get a hold of them they sent me a USB powered adapter for free (thank you for that), Except, The Harddrive STILL is not registering on my laptop. Then... more info
Toshiba External Hard Drive:
The Toshiba External Harddrive is great. I just love it. There are no problems during the order, everything was on time and in the original packing. The Hard Drive looks very fancy and is very small - so you can take it with you wherever you go. There is a program you can install but it's not necessary, it works without it as well!
