Updated, stylish low-profile look-and-feel and practical features refresh and unify 500GB to 3TB CANVIO portable hard drive family
9th January, 2018 – Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has announced the latest evolution of its popular CANVIO family of portable hard drives for personal storage. Combining practical features with updated slim, curved design, the CANVIO PREMIUM, ADVANCE and BASICS models provide a fresher, unified look and feel while delivering flexible capacity options of 500GB[1] [2], 1TB, 2TB and 3TB. The use of Toshiba’s 1TB platter technology supports low profiles, allowing the 2TB versions of all three new CANVIO models to be thinner than their predecessors.
The CANVIO PREMIUM series offers versatile connectivity in a stylish design with an aluminium finish and diamond-cut edges in silver metallic or dark grey metallic. The thin, slender body makes the device easy to store. It is accompanied by a pouch as well as a USB Type-A to USB Type-C[3] adapter that can be inserted in any orientation for easy connectivity to everything from notebooks to high-end desktop PCs. Additionally, the PREMIUM model offers Toshiba Storage Backup Software and Storage Security Software for download, enabling users to effortless back up and protect important data through password protection and an improved user interface. The 2TB devices in the PREMIUM line-up have a 13.5mm profile and are 5.5mm slimmer than the previous model.
The CANVIO ADVANCE series is available in four colour options – black, white, blue or red – with a glossy finish. The 2TB devices in the product line-up have a 14mm profile and are 5.5mm slimmer than the previous CANVIO CONNECT II model. ADVANCE models also come with the aforementioned Toshiba Storage Backup Software and Storage Security Software as additional features.
The newly designed CANVIO BASICS series offers an entry-level 2.5” portable hard drive for all kinds of storage needs, ranging from PC data to photography. The model is pre-formatted for Windows[4] PCs and works right out of the box, allowing users to collect content immediately and take their drive anywhere. Available in capacity options of 500GB, 1TB or 2TB, the new BASICS series features a minimalistic design, sleek, matt surface and a thin 14mm profile.
