Toshiba 2TB Canvio Ready – 2.5 inch Portable External
Toshiba 2TB Canvio Ready – 2.5 inch Portable External Hard Drive with SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1, Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7, 8 and 10, Black (HDTP320EK3AA)
READY TO PLUG AND PLAY
There’s no setup or waiting with the Canvio Ready – just plug the device in to quickly access and organise your files, before unplugging and going mobile. The Canvio Ready is the ideal companion for busy users who need quick and easy storage.
ALL-ROUND SECURITY
Beneath the attractive exterior of the unobtrusive, compact Canvio Ready – black with an elegant dot structure – are various technologies to protect your data. For example, ramp-load technology prevents damage to internal components from mobile use and the shock sensor cuts power in the event of excessive physical impact. So your data is protected at all times.
GO IN STYLE
Since your Canvio Ready will accompany you on the road, looks are important. That’s why we have given it a distinctive two-tone matte and gloss black finish that’s both stylish and easy to carry.

The hard drive is compact, sleek and gives you everything you need. If you are still using a compact pen memory stick, you need to buy one of these as soon as possible. Great Product.
it comes with 2 cables and gives great connectivity with both USB and USB C. It works really well for me. so it works on my USB 3.1 Hub and my USB C connection on my computer.
Wow this drive has it all
I use it for big music wav files which would eat my internal hard drive to a standstill
Its a small wallet size and is super fast with great storage
Installation was a breeze and it’s really quiet
First Class!
Reliability is the topmost requirement when it comes to storage and backing up; and I’m pleased to say that I’ve never experienced any issues with these hard drives. They’re reasonably priced for the storage capacity and lightweight too, so all the boxes are ticked.
The disk worked perfectly from simply plugging it in to a USB 3 port on the computer.
To get full benefit from its speed, it must, of course, be connected to a USB 3 port with a USB 3 cable.
A short USB 3 cable is supplied with the disk. (Avoid USB 2 hubs etc.)
The exFAT filing system is one that can be used on extremely large disks. If you have a compatible computer, I suggest you don’t change it.
I’ve been paying for iCloud storage for as long as I can remember and with travelling abroad and going to concerts, my phone storage as well as my iCloud storage just collapses. Using this external hard drive, I transferred all of my travelling and concert photos and videos and managed to save lots of storage on my phone and iCloud.
The external hard drive DID indeed come with 2TB of storage (as I’ve seen some reviews on other external hard drive reviews, that their hard drive came with significantly less storage.) All in all, so far so good!
I bought this as a back up for my games and it works as it should it just isn’t very fast at reading or writing compared to WD drives that I own.
This drive comes formatted in NTFS. I recenly moved to Linux and my distro does not read NTFS as standard and enabling it is a hassle. I think also MacOS can only read NTFS and not write to it. I suggest re-formatting to exFAT before use as it is more universal and better suited for portable media.
This is the second of these ‘Toshiba’ 1TB drives I have purchased. The first being
earlier this year, and which has proved to be a regularly used reliable device. I am
a musician and use it to store musical documents and also mp3 and videos for
reference. Enough capacity for my needs ! My latest purchase will be used as a
backup device exactly replicating the content on the first. Straightforward and
easy data transfer to the backup via my laptop. Very pleased !
This was bought for my mother who is constantly getting scammed and paying Internet hackers for storage that doesn’t exist. Now she can just drag and drop her phone pics direct to this hard drive and save money.
2tb model. I was surprised with how small it was. It’s the size of my wallet, smaller than my phone.
Plug and play. No need for a separate power supply. And very fast at transfering files.
Got this for my sons ps4 and it does the job perfectly he can play his TSW4 now without it crashing and getting a code, he’s very happy it’s brilliant and it’s a name you can trus
Exactly as it says. Compared to cheaper ones I have bought in the past this one is still going strong without and issues so far. With hard drives you definitely get what you pay for but this is reasonable and reliable.
So far this has done exactlly what it said it would. Esasy to connect and easy to drag and drop files. Just what I was looking for. Also works on HP Chromebook 360.
The simplicity of using this drive and downloading the content from my old hard drive was so simple and easy. A winner for someone, like me, who isn’t terribly tech savvy. Highlight recommended.
Great value and has earned it’s keep already when I had to reinstall a disk image backup. Using a local computer company would have cost more than the price of this device. I would still have to install all my own software if I went down this route.
It is a plug and use product with no set up needed. The transfer speeds are very quick and reliable, I run majority of my Xbox games through it.
If you are planning on using this hard drive on Next Gen Consoles, it can not run “optimised for xbox series s/x games” but you can still store those games on it!
Perfect for the price!
Amazing drive for how quick it is.
Rare to have such a large SSD for so cheap.
Perfect for all your external storage needs, and so easy to plug and go in every machine.
I back up regularly and prefer 1TB drives for a number of reasons, mainly that with larger drives a failure means losing more.
I’ve always used Seagate drives but find the connection plugs and sockets wear which mean they become flaky to connect eventually. The Toshiba seems more secure at the moment and the lead seems to make the Seagates better behaved, maybe I should just but a couple of new leads?
Whatever, I’m happy at the moment.
Everything you want, pretty good, speeds are good, fast, No problem. The only problem with harddrives these days are things have really shot up in price. I’ve bought a few 15 or 20 cheap ones and ended up on refunds because they were absolute trash/corrupt/broken/slow. Unfortunately money does matter when buying these types of products. Don’t go super cheap.
I’ve tried this a couple of times now for transferring my photos onto. It was easy to use out of the box, and works as I’d hoped and expected it to so far. Strange end on the cable. It’s not a standard one where by you’d be able to replace it with just a universal cable. Good overall
Great hard drive, nice n compact easy to install just plug in and away you go, drag files over to it.
I use for my fire stick when you put it into the firestick using a splitter will ask to use as external hard drive so you can just unplug it and plug into pc to drag files movies or music over to it, or use as 2nd storage device but you can’t unplug and use in anything else but the fire stick but when you install apps will install on this.
Also as the last picture shows, being as it is 1TB of space, it is going to take some (years) to even get half full.
Ideal replacement for my previous generation Toshiba hard drive which worked for over 10 years before experiencing an issue. I was still able to transfer my files from the old one too so pretty pleased with the life of Toshiba products.
When can you ever have too much storage when you make video files and need back-ups? Which to pick? I opt for external hard drives as well as online storage as each has its good and less so points…
This drive arrived in perfect working condition and was easy to attach and use on my HP Windows 10 laptop. I might buy another one… after all just one back up copy is probably not sufficient… at least until I can afford an SSD version!
