Bought this product from TabTree. It was delivered in its retail box which has a secure packing, wrapped in a plastic air cushioned wrapper and a conventional flipkart box over it. I am not sure how effective this kind of wrapping is for a delicate item like a hard disk. Anyway the hard disk worked fine the first time i plugged in. There was supposed to be some setup program in the hard disk according to the manual but I didn't find any. Being a Toshiba and being priced so cheap I made my buying decision over the WD Elements(4k vs 4.5k at the time of my purchase). I still have to be sure I made a correct decision(after one year??). The hard disk is very light and bare basic simple in design. Nothing catches your eyes. But it works. Initially I saw upto 80Mbps write speed(USB 3.0) and now it averages at 35-45Mbps depending upon the type of files. Read speeds i wont bother commenting. One thing I liked is that this hard disk switches itself off when not used. Not sure it is a standard feature in every other hard disk(never observed). But this feature helps it stay in good temperatures and surely this should prolong disk and data life. It was plugged in USB 3.0 this whole time. Up to this point I am satisfied. Have to wait longer for full impressions. And it is advised that this product be handled with care as it is so light and feels feeble. Buy a hard case.
