    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast inexpensive HDD, just does the job!, 3 April 2009
    This review is from: Toshiba 1TB USB 3.5" External Desktop Hard Drive (Electronics)
    Pros:
    1/ does NOT overheat. I mean when I use it for 1-2 hours, it gets only lukewarm at most. It does NOT have a fan so all cooling is via convection/heat irradiation. I admit I haven't tried it in 24h/7d operation.
    2/ quiet. I only hear the hiss when I start it or remove it "safely" from Windows and the disk accelerates/spins down for a sec or two. Normal operation is very quiet.
    3/ the LED is small and does not panic-flicker unlike other Fijitsu disk I have
    4/ no problems with drivers, Windows XP and Vista recognise it straight away
    5/ power switch on the back is very good idea - it won't get pressed accidentally
    Cons:
    1/ the case is metal but stand plate is plastic - beware if you put the drive on the side and press accidentally, the plate can snap.

    5.0 out of 5 stars First Impressions, 28 Mar 2009
    This review is from: Toshiba 1TB USB 3.5" External Desktop Hard Drive (Electronics)
    Just a quick set of first impressions. The drive arrived this morning. I have a Macbook Pro and a PC running XP. I had read some of the reviews here about formatting issues, so was expecting a day of watching progress bars and tweaking partitions to get it to play ball. Nothing of the sort. Took it out of the box, plugged it into my Mac, worked a charm. Copied a few files across, no problem. NO NEED TO REFORMAT. Literally plug and play. Then plugged it into my PC. Again NO REFORMATTING, plug and play, copied across the files from my Mac then loaded on some from the PC.Transfer speeds are pretty respectable. It looks great. Yes it does have a bright blue LED on the front -- that could get irritating in a dark room, but it's a pretty easy fix (e.g. cover the LED). Oh, and it's remarkably quiet -- no fan noise, and very quiet spin, read, and seek sounds. So all in all, I'm one happy bunny! This is a great bit of kit: for my purposes this works and looks like the perfect 1TB drive. N.B. If something disastrous happens in the near future, I'll update this review. But I doubt it; it feels like it's very well made.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works with a Mac too, 11 Feb 2009
    This review is from: Toshiba 1TB USB 3.5" External Desktop Hard Drive (Electronics)
    Glad I chose this over the Maxtor 1 TB Basics Desktop USB 2.0 External Hard Drive for the same price because the brushed aluminium case looks great next to my Mac. This case is quite compact and feels solid.

    The Amazon product description, Toshiba Europe web site and user manual do not mention Mac compatibility, and even say Windows is required, yet it works fine for me on a Mac Mini. The drive came formatted as FAT32 (PC and Mac) and was recognised by my Mac straight away, then I partitioned and reformatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility.

    There is no fan, so it is very quiet and the little power brick outputs a single 12V 2A supply, so hopefully there is less to go wrong than the 5/12V brick (Iomega/Lacie part ACU057A-0512) that just failed on my other 1 TB external drive. I like the proper toggle on/off switch on the back, to be used after unmounting the disk or shutting down the computer. There is also a USB-B socket and a standard coaxial power connector socket on the back. As well as the short USB cable, it came with both a UK 3 pin mains plug and a 2 pin plug. The box says it was made in Slovakia and uses a SATA drive.

    The single LED is red at startup then a very bright blue when running and it flickers to indicate disk activity.
    It is currently saying it will take 4 hours to transfer my 350GB EyeTV recorded program archive from a firewire external drive to this new Toshiba over USB2.

    I've only had it a few hours but so far would highly recommend this drive.
