Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Canvio Basics need a power adapter?
No. It is bus-powered over the USB cable, so there is no separate adapter to carry — just connect it to a USB port and it is ready to use.
Does it come with backup software or encryption?
No. The Canvio Basics is a basic plug-and-play drive without bundled software or encryption. If you want those, the Canvio Advance adds backup and password software.
Does it work with a Mac?
It ships NTFS-formatted for Windows. For full read and write on macOS, or to use Time Machine, reformat it to exFAT or a Mac format using Disk Utility.
What do I need to know before buying the Canvio Basics?
It is a simple, affordable portable hard drive for everyday storage and backup; for shock sensors, software or ruggedness, look at the Canvio Advance or a rugged drive.
Singular Expert Insight
The Canvio Basics is Toshiba's no-frills value drive: it focuses on dependable, affordable storage with nothing extra to pay for. If you want an internal shock sensor plus backup and password software, the Canvio Advance is the small step up; for speed, a portable SSD is faster. But for the most affordable way to carry 2TB, this portable hard drive is excellent value.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You want simple, affordable 2TB portable storage for backups and files, with bus-powered plug-and-play convenience.
Skip it if
You need SSD speed, rugged protection, or built-in backup software and password protection — this is a basic mechanical portable HDD.
Also consider
The Canvio Advance for shock sensor and software, a portable SSD for speed, or a rugged drive if it will take knocks.
