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
