What differs Canvio Basics from Canvio Ready, Canvio Alu and Canvio Connect II besides pre-installed backup software? Are they any better?
forgot to mention that Touro model has highest speed of 7200rpm, what is a significant difference to compare 5400. Thats why it cost few dollars extra.
Very little manufactures provide a fast drives
This is the review I’ve been looking for; detailed, organized and offers a comparison with the other external disk drives. Thank you so much good sir. You deserve a medal for saving us all that hassle.
Great review– helped me settle on and purchase the Canvio Basics. Thanks!
Last night, I lost my Seagate external hard disk 1TB, I used only once. 3 years ago, I bought Toshiba external hard disk 500GB, I did not used even once , it was crashed before I used it. So I decided that I am not gonna spend one cent on those brands again
what about transcend?
seems like a tough option
Great review! Any thoughts on the Canvio Slim model in comparison to the others as well? It’s running about the same price as the HGST Touro S.
You forgot to say that HGST Touro S is spin at 7200 rpm
hey guys its scarce
There three hard drive manufacturers now, with WD taking over Hitachi. Lacie and Buffalo don’t make hard drives just the casing for externals.
what about the shockproof Transcend StoreJet 25M3?
Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Any thoughts if I’m editing 4k video? Thunderbolt thoughts?
