Room for Complete Backups, Not Just Your Latest Files

Many businesses only back up a handful of folders because their external drive is too small. With 4TB of capacity, the Canvio Basics lets you keep full backups of laptops and desktops plus an archive of photos, drawings, accounts and video, so you are not deciding what to leave behind. If a laptop fails, is lost or is hit by ransomware, a recent backup on a separate drive can save days of lost work.

Who Should Buy This Product?

Perfect for: creative professionals storing large photo and video libraries, engineering and design firms archiving CAD and project files, accountants keeping year-end records offline, and small offices that want one drive to back up several staff computers. It is also a good fit for IT teams who need a large portable drive for moving data during a computer replacement or office migration.

Why Choose the Toshiba Canvio Basics 4TB?

• 4TB of capacity, the largest of the three Canvio Basics sizes listed at S-Tech, for full system backups and large media archives
• One drive can replace several smaller external drives, keeping your backups organised in one place
• USB 3.0 interface for straightforward connection to desktops and laptops with a standard USB port
• Portable Canvio Basics format that moves easily between home, office and client visits

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much usable space will I get on the 4TB drive?
A: The drive is labelled 4TB. As with every storage device, the usable space shown in Windows or macOS will be somewhat lower than the labelled figure because of formatting and the way operating systems calculate capacity. You will still have ample room for full computer backups and large media libraries.

Q: Is 4TB too much for a single laptop backup?
A: Not necessarily. A 4TB drive lets you keep several versions of your backups over time, or back up more than one computer to the same drive. If you only need a basic copy of documents, the 1TB or 2TB versions may be enough.

Q: Will the Canvio Basics work with both Windows and Mac computers?
A: The drive connects over USB 3.0, which is supported by most current computers. Depending on how the drive is formatted out of the box, a Mac may need it reformatted before use. Our team can confirm the pre-formatting and talk you through reformatting if required.

Q: What is the difference between this portable hard drive and a portable SSD?
A: A portable hard drive such as the Canvio Basics uses spinning disks and is usually the better choice when you want plenty of capacity for backups and archives. A portable SSD has no moving parts and generally transfers files faster, but typically costs more per terabyte. For backups and long-term storage, a hard drive like this one is a sensible, economical option.
