Description

Four terabytes that fit in a jacket pocket

The housing measures 109 × 78 mm, is 19.5 mm thick and weighs 202 grams, so it slips easily into the side pocket of a bag or coat. It draws power from the USB port, which means one cable is all you need on a trip, at a client's office or on the sofa at home. Toshiba preformats the drive so it is ready to use with computers and mobile devices straight away.

Who this external hard drive is for

Hobby photographers and video makers whose computer's internal drive filled up long ago; families who want the pictures from every phone collected in one place; small businesses and home offices that need regular backups of work documents. 4 TB also leaves room for full backups of several computers.

Questions & answers

Does the drive need a separate power supply?

No. It is powered directly by the USB port it is connected to, so no wall socket or power adapter is required.

Can I back up my phone without a computer?

Yes. According to Toshiba, you connect the drive to the phone with the USB cable and drag your files onto it, no computer needed. A USB-C cable is included for phones with a USB-C port.

How quickly do files copy?

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface with up to 5 Gbit/s of bandwidth. The manufacturer does not specify the drive's own read and write speed in megabytes per second; the result also depends on your computer's port.
