At the time of this review, Toshiba’s Canvio Premium with 4TB can be yours for very little. At least when you consider what you get. The grey version is available for £141.79 and the silver version for £137.45.
When you pick up the Canvio Premium, you understand why it has the name. It feels great to handle and looks at least as good. I mean, it’s still a portable HDD, so there are limits. But for what it is, it’s great.
The overall design is simple but also well thought out. The rounded edges and corners make it easy to slip right into your pocket when you head out. And it is a great portable drive. Since it is bus-powered, there is no need to carry a bulky or heavy power supply. Simply grab the drive and a USB cable, and you’re good to go. In fact, you’re very good to go as you can carry a massive 4TB of data on this drive. That is a lot of capacity in a small size. It’s also worth noting again that it comes with a nice pouch to protect it from pocket-scratches.
The weight isn’t bad either, but there is some. After all, it’s a mechanical drive which requires materials. That said, I’ve had power supplies for other drives that weighed more than this one does overall.
The performance isn’t ground breaking, but it’s great. The new generation of drives allow us to breach the previous 120MB/s barrier of 2.5″ drives and take us up to 140MB/s and above. A small improvement in numbers, but in percent it is an improvement of 16.6% between the rough numbers.
If you’re in the market for a great looking, sturdy, and high-capacity HDD for on-the-go, then yes. You can’t go wrong with the Toshiba Canvio Premium. It delivers what it promises!
“Toshiba’s Canvio Premium delivers a good performance and large capacity in pocket-size. What’s not to love?”
Thank you Toshiba for providing us with this sample.
