Product Information

I'm happy to have solved the mystery of this hard drive. I sure would've loved to know this ahead of time. I would've felt more comfortable starting the process. I'd say that Toshiba dropped the ball here. They put a product on the market without User Instructions ... bad idea. Maybe they wanted to save money on printing costs, I don't know. So, given the end result, I managed to scrape together a 3 star rating for this product. I'd have to say, it was a reluctant rating because of the grief I had to go through at the beginning. It’s a great solution when you mainly use your Toshiba drive on Microsoft Windows. And less often on your Mac.
