• Yes it's portable. It's a portable hard drive. However, don't drop it.

Yeah I'd say that's a good price for that drive.

They are usually pretty small these days and Toshiba doesn't make bad drives, so you will be fine with it. Although if you could fork over a little more, I would recommend a WD or a Seagate. We've had tons of their external drives for years and none of them have failed.

Do you want to connect it to a mobile device? Because I've never tried, you would have to look that up.
