What's great about it: USB 3 or 2, Compact size, Quiet

What's not so great: No longer carried in local store; but still available on-line

I bought my first first Canvio 2 TB drive about 3 months ago and liked it so much, I went back and bought 2 more. It backs up my data nightly including media files, which run about 86-87 GB. I use a different drive every day for 3 days, then repeat the cycle. A drive holds 11 backups and when it fills up, I reformat the drive and start again. Those backups take about 41 minutes.

Although the drive is marketed for Windows, it works great, formatted as ext4, on my Linux PC. I use scheduled, unattended backup at 11 PM every night, and there has never been a single error. The drives small size means they can be stored almost anywhere. Toshiba definitely got these right...including the price at under $100 for 2 TB.

This product has... Reliable, Fast, Attractive design/portable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size

About me... Budget Conscious, Technology guru, Work with large multimedia files, Need a simple backup solution

I would recommend this to a friend!

Compatible with...:PC

What is the manufacturers warranty on this drive?

Surprised it isn't listed in drive description or specs

According to Toshiba's web site ( http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Storage/Canvio-Connect-Portable-Hard-Drive/2TB/HDTC720XK3C1 )
