Product purchased in late January 2014. Not enough perspective to judge the disk but a priori Toshiba is a serious manufacturer. The BIG problem is the supplied cable: the USB plug that connects to the PC is poorly designed and the slightest movement disconnects the drive. It is very painful, we must constantly monitor, something I have never met with the four other drives of other brands I use. I am forced to buy another cable where 3 star, especially since the cable type is not very common (USB 3.0).
