Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): USB 3.0, USB 2.0 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Fast and stable
I utilize this drive for all my backup needs. I keep it plugged in all the time and let my Windows do all the file backup and systems backup 24/7. I have never had an issue and it is very fast when doing the data transfer. Never gets hot. Best deal around if you need a backup or just want to store a bunch of files. I now have 4 of these for each of my systems. We work in a dusty area and the computers and such get a lot of dust on them and still no issues.

great little portable drive
I have several Toshiba portable drives, as well as other mfr drives that I use for backups for numerous computers. They all work very well and are very portable. This latest Toshiba is a 2TB, which is nice because with the 1TB and less my backups were filling them up too fast. I do have to mention one thing though: The 750GB and 1TB Toshibas I have are the exact same size, and I expected this one to be also. However, although the width and depth are the same, the 2TB is considerably taller than the 1TB. It is almost as if they took two of the 1TB and stacked them on top of each other in a single case. Who knows, maybe they did. This is not a problem for me and the drive is still very portable, but if you want to shove it in your pocket, be aware that the form factor is a little bigger and heavier than the ones that are 1TB and less. I have not tried the cloud software that is supposed to be available for this drive so I cannot say whether that feature works well or not. It comes with software but is not documented well. I do not know if the software turns this drive into cloud storage or not. Very confusing. It also comes with backup software, but I didn't check it out because I am very happy with Macrium Reflect free and have been unhappy with numerous other backup software I have tried. Another thing confusing from Toshiba: Why have a Canvio Basics, Canvio Connect, and Canvio Connect II? And if you have them all, please tell us what the differences are. I had trouble finding out the differences, if there are any, even after chatting with their support. Note: Warranty is 2 yrs. I only mention this because I had trouble finding this info before buying, and depending on which Toshiba you get, the warranties are different. Overall, I am very happy, very nice product.
