5.0 out of 5 stars Works with windows, and Macs if done correctly.
I just opened my hard drive and plugged it into my macbook pro. It was instantly recognized but for some reason I couldn't put files on it. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, there are instructions! Plug it in.
This device is just what I need, no more, no less. Why not 5 stars? Because I really could have used just three sentences for instructions. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth The Money
It works perfectly. Easy setup since it's a USB device. I would recommend using a powered USB hub since my lap top has only one USB slot where I plug the hub in. Read more

This review is from: Toshiba Canvio 500 GB USB 2.0 Basics Portable Hard Drive E05A050BAU2XK (Black) (Electronics)
I spent too much time reading reviews, so I hope this one is useful for you all:
- Lowest price I found.
- Conected it to my laptop and it recognized it immediately, no installations whatsoever. Works perfect with just a simple USB cable. Real 'plug n play'. No lies from the manufacturer.
- Data transfer seems very fast.
- Very small. Nice finish. Actually, looks like an iPhone. Very light.
How am I using it? Made 3 partitions, 2 NTFS and 1 FAT, to do some Wii-related stuff. If it performed perfect with all that mess I did to it, then it will work perfect to you.
