Simple, Reliable, and Perfect for On-the-Go Storage!
The Toshiba Canvio Basics portable hard drive is exactly what I needed—plug-and-play simplicity with reliable performance. I was able to use it straight out of the box with no setup or software installation. Just plugged it into my laptop and immediately started dragging and dropping files. It couldn’t be easier.I love the sleek matte black design—it’s compact, lightweight, and fits easily in my bag or even my pocket. It’s perfect for traveling or just freeing up space on my computer. With up to 4TB of storage, there’s plenty of room for all my photos, videos, and documents without slowing down my PC.Data transfer is fast and smooth, especially with USB 3.0, and I appreciate that it also works with older USB 2.0 ports. No external power source is needed either, which keeps things simple and clutter-free.If you’re looking for a reliable, no-fuss external drive, I highly recommend this one. It does exactly what it promises, and it does it well.

Small and fast and works with Tablo.
This drive is about the size of a deck of playing cards. It came with a short cable and preformatted for windows. My Tablo formatted it again fairly quickly. With 4TB I’ve got enough DVR space for years.

Quick file transfers and portability
For 2 TB, this price was great. It works well with my HP laptop and transfers video files with ease.The only reason why I took a star away was because the cord to connect is proprietary, meaning it’s not a generic usb cord. It will connect to any usb port, but the port connecting to the drive is a special type of plug; it’s not usb-c. You need to take great care of this cord, because if you lose it, you will have to order a new one just for it.Other than the special cord, it works great and I love it!
