About this product
The Toshiba Canvio Ready gives you 1TB of portable storage that's ready to use the moment you plug it in. This compact external hard drive uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology to deliver transfer speeds up to 5Gbit s, making it quick and easy to back up your photos, videos and important documents. With plug-and-play functionality, there's no software to install - just connect it to your laptop or PC and start saving your files straight away.
What sets the Canvio Ready apart is its built-in protection features designed for life on the move. A ramp load design prevents damage to the disc when you're carrying it around, while a clever shock sensor automatically cuts power if it detects physical stress, keeping your data safe from accidental knocks or drops. It's backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, weighs only 300g and tucks neatly into a bag or desk drawer. Toshiba backs it with a 1 year manufacturer's guarantee and technical support.

Arrived within the delivery window and works fine so far.

Small, portable and oh so quiet
The Toshiba Canvio is just what I was looking for to back up the data on my Apple Mac. Formatting it to be compatible with a Mac's Time Machine software wasn't difficult and it's so small and silent. Only thing to make it better would be if the cable included in the package was a little longer than 35cms.

Does what it says on the tin.
This product did exactly what I needed. It downloaded all the files from my previous laptop that were needed and allowed me to transfer to my new computer.
