I had to return mine because it had bad sectors. I attempted to fix it using CHKDSK, but failed. I do not recommend buying this. Get a WD instead. I got just that for replacement though not from Amazon.

I also checked Toshiba warranty but the site could not recognize the serial number. It's possible that the warranty is not valid.

I would give it zero star but that's not possible.

Not satisfied with the product but I am happy with Amazon because I managed to return this for a full refund.

I purchased the drive exactly four months ago. It has begun making squeaking and grinding noises. Upon going to the toshiba site to check the warranty, it says it is expired. This site lists it as having a 3 year warranty. This has not been resolved yet and I am just waiting for the stupid thing to die and lose all the data not saved since my last backup....


5 out of 5 stars Ótimo HD externo   March 16, 2010
Thiago S. Arakaki (Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil)
Gostei deste HD, ele é leve, pequeno, rápido e tem um bom design. O único problema é que o cabo USB solta relativamente fácil dele, então não é bom de usar na cama ou no colo, quando estiver usando deixe-o bem parado.


5 out of 5 stars Works as expected.   March 16, 2010
