    I just got my external hard drive this morning and was very disappointed when I found out that it only comes with 465GB instead of what is advertised on the box – 500GB. Is this normal? Anyone else have this problem?

    Just received and no personal experience yet. 4 Stars given based on what I read and the Toshiba brand.

    It can be a general problem for external hard drives, but I accidentally dropped it only once from less than a table hight and now I can’t use it anymore… So annoying.. Laptops used to have the same problem!!! (I know very well). Now, laptops are immune to this. This was the first time that I dropped an external hard disk. now you think i have a problem with dropping things ha..

    This little drive has great capacity, but to use it effectively, you need the software to work right. I’ve ben *trying* to use it with a Win7 machine for over a week and the software is slow to respond to mouse clicks, frequently gets hung and doesn’t respond at all. The icons are confusing, too and the online help is, well, not much help. So far, it tells me the status of the simple File and Folder backup is “never backed up”, despite several tries. Every time I start up the software, the status report says “Backups did not run” (even after manually trying to start the backup); checking the log file just reveals errors. It does indicate that it did a Complete System Backup, but again, the status says “Backups did not run”. I can’t trust that the backups are working, so the drive is worthless.

    I love it. The item was as described. Top quality all around. Not a single problem. The backup software works well. I recommend this item if you own a laptop.
