User Reviews about Toshiba 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Dive HDDR500E04XL (Liquid Blue)

This drive is cute small and has nice price.. but it is so slow when I want to move something in it.. Actually, I hate slow technological things.. -- slow

I am a Mac owner and I was deploying to Afghanistan, I copied all of my music and photos from my Mac to the Toshiba Hard Drive. The computer that I used in country was a Dell PC laptop. I did not have any issues going from one computer to the other. It is a great, good looking durable little hard drive. I would by another one if I needed it, and the price was great! -- Awesome little External Hard Drive

I bought a 320 Gigas mini external drive, it has been working very well. Small, light and easy to carry but you should be carefull with the cable; very weak and it seems i will replace it soon. I have trying with a "similar" cables but no one works. Perhaps i should buy a new one to Toshiba. Beside some times i have problem when i`m working with a 8 Gigas Pen Drive, some times it recognize it and some times doesn`t when i`m using both at the same time. -- Carefull

I bought this Toshiba external hard drive and the hard carrying case together. I am glad I did as it fits nicely in my computer bag that I take with me when I go out of town. I was able to transfer files, pictures and music from my laptop to it so that my laptop would work faster. I am pleased with the results! -- Great external hard drive

This portable hard drive is the perfect too l for people who want to save information on other places than their computer. The only problem that I had with this device was with backups. I went to a different computer and it was not able to recognize my backups. So when my computer crashed I was not able to restore all of my files. Other than that this was a great little hard drive for an unbeatable price. -- Great but not excellent
