Size Name:640GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a review for the Toshiba E05A064PAU2EW_C Store Art3 2.5" White 640GB as opposed to all the other sizes that seem to be bundled into the same review.
The item worked straight out of the box. The supplied Mini-USB cable connected straight up to my PC, and the drive was recognised immediately. No issues when swapping between my Works Lenovo and home Toshiba Satellite.
It's smaller and thinner than the Freecom one I have at work, and I prefer the mini USB to the hard wired connector in the Freecom drive. Easily slips into a pocket and is very portable. Disappointing it didn't come with even the most basic of protective cases, but I knew that before I got it.
The white case is easy to keep clean, although it does seem to attract dust, possibly due to static.
A white LED flashes when the drive is active, and stays on when it's not doing anything, so you know it's still connected.
It feels solid and robust, and there is a rubber buffer around the perimeter that should give some protection.
I haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability (which is the big drawback in these reviews perhaps) but I'm very happy with how it's worked out so far.
Like all drives, make sure you use 'safely remove hardware' before disconnecting from the USB
Edit: January 2012 - still working fine with no issues. I use it mainly for backing up files off my Laptop, on a weekly basis, and storage of photos.

Size Name:1TB
Love this little drive, solidly built and offers good protection for mobile applications. The added benefits with these types of mobile drives is that you don't need to mess around with external power supplies and the footprint is much smaller so the added expense is worth it.
From factory they are pre-formatted to NTFS. Two year warranty also for added peace of mind.
The only criticism is that it should be supplied with a case to minimise the top/bottom covers getting scratched etc.
I've been using Toshiba drives for quite sometime now and never had one fail. Much more reliable than Seagate/Western Digital in my experience.

What a great bit of tech.
I wanted a 1TB drive and was about to order a WD passport (I am a big WD drive fan) and was wary of this Tosh - only because I was happy with WD.
As I went to order there seemed to be quite a price premium for a WD, more than I was comfortable with, so I ordered one of these.
It's fab... Fast, quiet, up and running immediately. What more do you want - apart from maybe another one!
So did I, so I bought another PDQ - AND £20 cheaper than the first!
Now got two, and that's twice as good.
If you are at the stage of thinking about it - just buy it. It really is "Better than you think..."

Suitable backup
I initially bought a notebook computer to save lugging round a heavy laptop in my travels. But the restricted memory meant that the notebook started to slow down. Read more

Great hard drive!
Comes with NTI backup software which makes it worth it.
The case feels solid and has a grip edge which lends security when handling the unit.
Happy with this.
