Key specs at a glance

Figures come from retailer listings of Toshiba's Canvio Advance. Toshiba also sells the simpler Canvio Basics and Canvio Ready ranges, which differ in features and warranty. Your supplier list gives only the brand and capacity, so ask our team to confirm the exact model, colour and warranty of the unit you order.

This is a hard drive, not an SSD

A portable hard drive (HDD) stores data on spinning disks. Compared with a portable SSD, it is slower and heavier, but gives you far more storage for the money. For backups, archives and large media libraries, that trade-off is worth it. For speed and toughness, see the SanDisk portable SSDs in our range.

Is 1TB the right size for you?

A 1TB drive holds roughly a few hundred thousand phone photos or a large document collection, plenty for a student or one laptop's backup.

Who it's for

Students backing up coursework and photos.

Anyone who wants a simple, cheap backup drive.

Office workers who move files between computers.

How it compares

The 2TB and 4TB versions, also in our range, give more room. Pick 1TB if your files fit and you want the lowest price.

Looking after a hard drive

• Avoid moving or knocking it while it's reading or writing.
• Always eject it safely before unplugging.
• For important files, keep a second copy, because any drive can fail.
