Canvio Advance

Fast, Reliable, and Compact — Great Storage Solution! 💾💚 I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB external hard drive, and it’s been working perfectly! The setup was super easy — just plug it in and it’s ready to go. The transfer speed is fast with USB 3.0, and it handles large files without any lag. I use it for backing up photos, videos, and work files, and it’s been reliable every time. It’s lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to carry when traveling. The green color is also a nice touch — bright and easy to spot in my bag. Overall, it’s a great combination of performance, portability, and style. Definitely recommend if you need extra storage or backups! 💾✨

I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 4TB to store my growing collection of photos, videos, and work files. It’s been really reliable so far—fast transfers with USB 3.0, and plenty of space to keep everything organized without worrying about running out. I like that it’s compact and easy to carry around, which is perfect for when I need to take my files on the go. The plug-and-play setup was straightforward, so I didn’t have to fuss with any complicated installations. The only slight downside is that it uses a USB-A connection, so if you have newer devices with USB-C, you might need an adapter. But overall, it’s a solid external drive at a good price, and I’m happy with my purchase.

The Toshiba Canvio USB 3.0 portable hard drive delivers everything you need in a compact and dependable storage solution. Plug-and-play with USB 3.0 (also fully compatible with USB 2.0), it offers data transfer speeds up to about 5 Gb/s (~100 MB/s in real-world usage). Despite its small size—typically around 78 × 109 × 14 mm and weighing under 150 g for 1 TB/2 TB variants—it feels solid and durable, perfect for travel or everyday backup . The built‑in shock sensor and ramp-loading technology add an extra layer of data protection. I used mine to back up photos, videos, and large files—and it performed flawlessly. No external power needed, no setup required—just plug in and drag-and-drop. It’s also affordable and comes with a standard one-year warranty (some models include 3-year). Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, everyday external storage.

This is the second of two of these that I’ve purchased in the last year and a half and it works perfectly for storing my raw YouTube videos price reasonably quick shipping good quality.

Solid drive overall. The write speed to fill the drive is notably pretty slow but the read speed is good for most PC gaming. No setup required at all is nice and USBa connection allows it to be used conveniently with pretty much anything you want. Small size and few performance issues makes this preferred.

Bought new, it is small & portable. I bought the case separately. It did take longer to be delivered, but I was not in a hurry. It is easy to use, backs up quickly

I have had this item for over a year now and it is fabulous! The construction and quality are top notch. Incredibly easy to use, plug-n-play. Huge capacity for such a tiny, powerful item. It doesn't overheat and transfer time is as quick as possible.

I bought this for my sister. In terms of size and looks, this is a winner. In terms of speed, I've used it with USB 3.0 in my laptop and it was pretty fast. If you need a hard drive to carry work around or as a backup, this seems to fit the bill pretty well. My experience with hard drives is that you cannot tell in advance how well they will hold over time, so I have nothing to say with respect to reliability. Update: my sister needed to be able to transfer files between a Mac and a Windows PC. In order to do that, you will have to re-format the drive as it comes formatted with a format that is not writeable on a Mac. The format you need is ExFAT, and from what I have read, it needs to be done on a Windows PC or it will not be compatible on both sides. To format the drive, connect it to a windows PC and do the following: 1) Open up Windows Explorer and right-click on your drive in the sidebar. Choose "Format". 2) In the "File System" dropdown, choose exFAT instead of NTFS. 3) Click Start and close this window when finished. Your drive should now be usable on Mac and PC without limitations! UPDATE: Some comments after reading other reviews. Hope this helps you... * NEVER use a single hard drive as a backup. They fail unpredictably! I've had hard drives that worked for years and others that broke quickly. The same manufacturer can have batches with different quality. If you are going to be using a hard drive like this to backup your files, I suggest getting more than one. * Don't use cheap backup software included with a hard drive. Use Time machine on MacOS or Windows file history on Windows. They work well and are free. If your needs are more complicated, then look at the first bullet and buy better backup software. * For photos and videos, besides backing them up on a hard drive, I upload them to Google Photos (free) and Amazon Prime photos (free with prime for photos only). These are very important for me, so I like having extra copies. * For music, you can backup your library using iTunes backup (if you have it on iTunes) for $25/year. * For other important documents, you should use a cloud drive for backup. Unless you do specialized work, the rest of your data should not be that big.

Otimo produto, chegou certinho e funcionando legal. Posso fazer uma ressalva aqui,mas nao irei dar nota baixa porque sei que a culpa nao é do fornecedor. Mas a empresa Tex Courier que faz entregas, pelo menos aqui na regiao centro e sul de minas gerais, é uma vergonha, jogaram o produto na garagem(repetindo: jogaram um HD externo no chao da minha garagem,nao sei se por causa da embalagem acharam que era um livro, mas o hd poderia ter estragado), em outra oportunidade me entregaram livros molhados, nao esperam atender a campanhia, e em algumas vezes parecem usar da má-fé, porque colocam que o comprador assinou a entrega quando na verdade nao assinou, pois desse modo pode ser que o proprio fornecedor saia prejudicado,uma vez que se o produto chegar estragado ele sera devolvido. Mas em relaçao ao HD externo da toshiba nao tem oq reclamar.

I have been filling up all my 2TB external drives with content and backups, so it was time to up the capacity, and these 4TB externals came at a reasonable price so I bought two. They are attractive drives, not much different from the competitors', but I like the reddish colour! The drives were packaged in standard plastic with a USB cable. On the drive, there's links to two pieces of software, one for backups (which works well if you don't have a third-party backup solution) and another that allows you to encrypt the drive contents for secure storage. When you insert the USB for an encrypted drive, it asks for the password before it opens the contents. Nice little piece of software. Other than that, the drive works well. Compared to another vendor's 4TB, it's just as fast, but has better software included. No issues with the two drives I bought so far, and I've travelled around the world with one drive being shaken up in my luggage to no ill effects. Impressed, and I'll probably buy more for backup purposes. Follow-up: I've now bought about six of these external 4TB Toshiba drives, some of them active 24/7, and all have worked flawlessly. I travel with two drives containing sensitive data, so I really value the security locking (password protection) feature.

The Toshiba Canvio Gaming 4TB Portable External Hard Drive is a fantastic storage solution for gamers. With 4TB of space, it easily accommodates large game libraries for PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Mac. The USB 3.0 interface ensures fast data transfer, reducing load times and improving overall performance. Its compact and sleek black design makes it highly portable and convenient for on-the-go gaming. The drive is also easy to set up and use across multiple platforms. Highly recommended for anyone needing ample and reliable storage for their gaming needs!

4 TB ??? , es sind nur 3,63 deshalb Sterneabzug. Lese und Schreibgeschwindigkeit sind ok.

Hola la verdad es que me pareció un buen precio de este Disco duro lo compre en oferta, en si el empaque viene super bien seguro en su caja, a diferencia de los Wester Digital este no viene con funda de tela como los WD, solo viene el disco duro y su cable. en si el software se me hace super sencillo, como todo trae un software para hacer backups y por aparte otro para ponerle contraseña al disco, solo que antes de escribir algo en el disco y si quieres usar esa funcionalidad deberás formatearlo y encriptarlo primero. La verdad solo me interesa como backup y reemplazar un disco duro externo que ya tiene unos 8 años y ya empezó a hacer ruidos raros y el Cristal Mark ya dice que el estatus es malo. La verdad si lo compras en oferta es un exclente disco. la escritura y lectura son acorde al tope que tiene el SATA III. y el USB 3.0 es suficiente para llenar el ancho de banda.
