The implemented sleep function on the Canvios is unable to be switched off. Putting that aside, it should still not be an issue to perform a Windows backup on one of these drives, but the fact is to the contrary. I manually backup items to all my external drives, of which I have many. I do not use any type of Windows backup except for System Restore Points. Evidently, a lot of people bought this to make Windows backups. This is the biggie that had all the Canvio users up in arms. Once you need a RMA, and have the receipt, go to this link and click the 'Start' button to begin the RMA process.

I bought this through Amazon, which keeps my order history (as does NewEgg, and many other large companies) so I just have to open my account for a receipt. Hopefully you never will, but there were many horror stories about how many of them died after a couple weeks of use.

This is despite having a 3-year warranty! Which is an additional reason I bought this since Seagate external HDD's normally have 1-2 year warranties depending on the model. You can contact Toshiba and they will tell you it is not possible online. It will return an error as if you input the wrong serial number, but it won't matter in either case. The first being that there is no way to sign up for a product warranty through Toshiba's website. It was first introduced to market in 2013, and has since been plagued by varying issues. So, I decided that I would see how their external HDD's fared since I already have an external USB 3.0 Seagate.Ī couple of notes on the 3TB model. However, I do recall that I had a different laptop with an internal CD-writer made by Toshiba that lasted a very short time. I had a Toshiba Satellite laptop many years back, and it did right by me. Toshiba has never been my first go-to manufacturer for anything.
