About this product
The Toshiba Canvio Basics gives you a generous 2TB of storage space - perfect for keeping all your photos, videos, music and important files safe in one place. Setting it up couldn't be easier - just plug in the USB cable and you're ready to go within seconds. No software to install, no complicated setup - Windows recognises it straight away, so you can start backing up your precious memories immediately. The timeless design with matt finish looks smart whether it's sitting on your desk or tucked in your bag for travel.
Powered by USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology, this portable hard drive delivers much faster transfer speeds than older USB 2.0 devices, making it quick to organise and move large files. It's still compatible with USB 2.0 hardware too, so you can connect it to older systems when needed. Compact and lightweight at around 11 x 8 x 1.4cm and under 200g, it's easy to slip into a laptop bag or backpack for when you're on the move. Toshiba backs it with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee for added reassurance.

Portable USB3 disk unit
The product was simple to understand and worked perfectly straight from the box. The capacity and transfer speed were as stated. It is a pity no small bag or similar wasn't provided as the drive is very portable and I have found a low cost case on similar products.

Reliable
It does the job. Portable. Reliable. I have had the 1TB one for few years and it has worked fine so I could trust a bigger size for a different project. I do wish it came with a USBC adapter.

Not the most exciting device but very important!
Great item, small, compact and reliable. Easy to setup and use. Not particularly cheap but what price do you put on lost documents? Just backed up my desktop in less than 30 minutes!

Great little Hard Drive
I got a new computer at the beginning of the year and felt the need to upgrade my two ageing external HDDs, like all external HDD's setup was just the case of plugging it into a USB port. it is a good size and fits on the desk without taking up too much room. speed wise it's just what you would want from HDD that's being used for backing up files and photos it also appears to work with no issues on windows 11 and has been very reliable in use as of writing

Doesn't save things as they are
This is not for me. I wanted to save all my videos and pictures, but unfortunately all it does is save the videos as pictures and to my annoyance I deleted everything from my phone. So now I've lost all my videos. Not pleased š
