Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I want to give this drive a glowing review. I simply cannot. It is great in all respects except for one critical one: the USB cable that connects the drive to your computer only works intermittently at best. At first, I thought this was just a defective unit but after some online research and a peek at other Amazon reviews of Toshiba external hard drives, I learned that it is just typical for the product line. If the cable is not laying exactly the right way, is moved in the slightest, or is just in a bad mood, your connection will fail -- subjecting your data to corruption. Unfortunately, this critical flaw required me to buy another product and to soundly reject Toshiba external drives.
