A fast, good value portable hard disk
Huge capacity, but not particularly fast at writing small files.
It has some nice extra features, but the Canvio Premium is barely faster than much cheaper alternatives

Toshiba Canvio Connect II review
Great performance, great software, great price – the Canvio Connect II is the whole package
Seagate Wireless review
An easy way to add a huge amount of storage to your smartphone or tablet, but the Seagate Wireless is still very much a niche device
Seagate Seven review
The Seagate Seven is incredibly thin, but performance is only average and you pay a premium for the design
ADATA DashDrive Durable HD710 review
You pay a little extra for durability, but it could be worth it if you’re accident prone
G-Technology G-RAID Studio 8TB
The G-RAID Studio may be expensive, but its super-quick storage is ideally suited to 4K video editing
Buffalo MiniStation Air 2 review
The MiniStation Air 2 is a good mobile NAS, although it’s a little expensive and file format compatibility needs work
Corsair Voyager Air 2 review
Corsair Voyager Air 2 is a good-quality mobile NAS let down by half-finished apps
Western Digital My Passport Pro 2TB
A cheaper but slower alternative to a Thunderbolt SSD
Elgato Thunderbolt Drive+ review
A Thunderbolt SSD that’s blisteringly fast but eye-wateringly expensive
LaCie Fuel 1TB review
The Fuel works well, but the almost identical Seagate Wireless Plus is better value
Freecom Toughdrive 256GB review
A fast but expensive USB3 SSD
Maxell Portable Wireless Hard Drive 500GB review
Not a bad wireless hard disk, but a little overpriced and not polished enough
