Review: Product brilliant delivery appalling - I think this product is excellent. The delivery by EVRI was absolutly appaling. 6 minutes to one IN THE MORNING (after midnight) Left by my front gate 30 feet from my front door. No way of expressing my anger as I could not give delivery NO STARS hence no firther comment. Luckily my neighbour on his way to worek noticed the package and put it through my letterbox.
Review: Easy..Peasy. - You can tell straight away that it is quality, unlike the WD Elements I had with it's tacky and badly designed mains lead. The Toshiba quickly formats itself and then you are ready for action. It is a quality piece of kit, so easy to use, and I will be purchasing another to back up my back ups.
