Instead, it needs to be affixed to its surface or container and protected from anything falling on it, or you will at some point lose your data, and if you are like me, it was supposed to be the backup (now lost).

Toshiba will not recover data for me

Great for backing up important data/documents and precious data/pictures and music

They just continue to write data on top of data till it crashes

Was waiting for the chance to get one of these to backup important data from our computers at home

Protect yourself protect your data buy this hard drive

Lost all my data, very disappointed.

If you trust your data to firmware, get multiples and backup your backups on a regular basis

not for large data loads like games

Read errors a plenty and corrupted data

I take out back-up drive and bring it to computer shop where my internal drive was switched out so he can add the missing data to the new drive

Bad product, lost data, company has no support of any kind

Works as it should.

It works as it should and seems to be constructed well.

I have not updated my computer since XP so these are a must as they work with Windows 7

This is the second 2T external hard drive I have purchased recently, and the price was great

The drive is super wonky on linux out of the box, never had that issue before but yea u can ignore the previous review of me bashing this thing
