Toshiba Canvio Flex

Toshiba Canvio Flex 4TB Portable External Hard Drive USB-C USB 3.0, Silver for PC, Mac, & Tablet – HDTX140XSCCA

In spite of the fact that the size of still image files continues to grow (especially if you frequently shoot RAW+JPEG), and that more video is being produced at ever greater bit rates, data storage continues to be a major concern for professional photographers (up to 400 Mbps with 4K).

When it comes to desktop and portable applications, there is an overwhelming number of choices with bewildering lists of specifications. But in many cases, all you really want is a straightforward, no-frills device that is fast enough, durable enough, allows for basic file management and is reasonably priced.

Photographers and videographers will like the Canvio Flex portable hard drives from Toshiba, which are branded under the company’s name. Despite the fact that they are still based on a disk drive with moving parts rather than a solid state drive (SSD), which many professionals prefer due to the inherent durability and higher speeds of SSDs. SSDs, on the other hand, are still prohibitively expensive when compared to hard drives (usually by a factor of four to five), and the 4TB capacity Canvio Flex is still available for less than $100. It also comes in smaller capacities of 1TB ($55) and 2TB ($70), both of which are covered by a three-year warranty.

The other advantages are the small physical size and light weight, as well as the reasonable data transfer rates and the inclusion of both USB-C and USB-A cables to accommodate all of the potential transfer alternatives you may require. When it comes to moving files across devices such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, USB-C is unquestionably convenient. The Flex drives are compatible with devices running Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Chrome. There are no drivers required for these devices because they are SATA 3 devices that transport data over USB.

More About Toshiba Canvio Flex

It can be a significant nuisance to transfer data from one device to another. For people (such as this writer) who use a MacBook Pro. As their primary work machine, an Android phone on a daily basis. A Windows PC for gaming, and a PlayStation 4 as their home media center. While the Canvio Flex did not make the process particularly simple during our tests. It did so in a very basic manner.

When transferring around 10GB of assorted.mkv and.mp4 files. From the Windows PC to the MacBook Pro for playing on the PlayStation 4. The average write speed for the HDD format was approximately 150MB/s. In terms of speed, this was really quick for the HDD format. And it was extremely amazing for the HDD format.

When the Canvio Flex was connected to a new device for the first time. It had an interesting tendency to recognize the drive and then lose connection. With it instantly. This was the one and only time I came upon an anomaly. It was only after performing a simple hard reset (unplugging and plugging the computer back in). That you realized the issue was simply a side effect of the automated driver installation process.
