Preface:
Many digital parties have a lot of data to store in today's big data era, and the demand for storage space is huge. The mobile hard drive is small in size and is more suitable for data exchange and data expansion with mobile portability requirements. It is also a data storage method favored by many friends. Ergou recently decided to use a mobile hard drive to expand the capacity because the storage space of in his laptop was not enough. Taking advantage of the 618 event, I recently purchased a Toshiba Canvio Flex mobile hard drive. I chose the maximum capacity of 4TB. Toshiba is a professional storage brand with a long history, mature technology, and advanced technology. The quality of its products reassures me. This is the main reason why I chose it. Today I have this mobile hard drive on hand to simply share my experience.
unboxing and experience:
Mobile hard drives currently have large capacities that are more suitable for future needs. After all, a 4K movie is often close to 100GB, and it is common for game masterpieces to exceed 100GB. Large-capacity products are more practical, but large-capacity SSD is still relatively expensive. Considering cost-effectiveness, mechanical mobile hard drives are a more rational choice. The Toshiba Canvio Flex mobile hard drive is a good balance between cost performance and large capacity.
Needless to say, the packaging of Canvio Flex mobile hard drive is a common carton packaging design. The main color combination is white + orange. On the front, you can see eye-catching product renderings, as well as product model, brand information, capacity, etc. More importantly, Canvio Flex is compatible with mainstream devices such as PC\MAC and supports a three-year warranty. The back mainly contains some manufacturer information and product adaptation information.
In addition to the main body of the Canvio Flex mobile hard drive, the package also includes two pieces of USB data and a paper product installation guide. Friends who are familiar with mobile hard drives can tell at a glance that Canvio Flex uses a 2.5-inch disk structure. The data cable includes a UBS-A and a USB-C, supporting the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, which can meet the adaptation needs of different devices.
Canvio Flex has an obvious business style in design, and the silver color scheme is also quite atmospheric. The fuselage uses a large area of plastic technology, but thanks to the excellent detail processing, the overall texture is still very good, especially the frosted shell design which feels really good. The entire front design is relatively simple, with only a Toshiba English logo showing the attributes of the product.
is designed with data interface and work indicator light on the side. The slender work indicator light can easily and intuitively understand the working status of the mobile hard drive.
html The 32.5-inch plate body can be easily held with one hand. It can also be easily put into a school bag, suitcase, briefcase, or even a pocket when going out. Whether it is for daily use or business travel, it is easy to carry without any sense of pressure. When
reads data, you can see the blue light lighting up, which is full of technology.
is a business-oriented mobile hard drive with large capacity that can meet the needs of various usage scenarios. In addition to regular Mac computers, Windows computers, iPad Pro, some other USB-C devices can also be easily identified. And it uses the exFAT format, which can be compatible with multiple systems at the same time without formatting settings, plug and play. Canvio Flex can easily come in handy when the capacity of your laptop is insufficient or you need to transfer data to each other during work.
tablet computers, electronic paper books, and other products can also exchange data through the USB-C port when the capacity is insufficient or when data in the mobile hard disk needs to be accessed. Ergou used the Aragonite Note5+ in his hand for actual testing and could easily read the content.
All kinds of entertainment resources, materials, backup materials and work documents can be conveniently stored on the Canvio Flex mobile hard drive. The large capacity of 4TB can easily meet daily needs, and the experience is still very good.The performance of
still needs to be tested. Here Ergou mainly conducts performance tests through Crystal DiskMark, Atto disk benchmark and actual data copy.
was first tested using Crystal DiskMark, with a reading speed of 144.30MB/s and a writing speed of 157.49MB/s.
again used the Atto disk benchmark test. The test data results were similar to Crystal DiskMark, with a reading speed of 149MB/s and a writing speed of 154MB/s.
was actually tested to copy 7.49G of data from the computer to the mobile hard disk, and the speed can be stabilized at around 135M/S.
was actually measured to copy 7.49G of data from the mobile hard disk to the computer, and the speed can be stabilized at around 136M/S. The copy speeds of the two are similar to each other, and the overall speed stability is also relatively good. The results of several speed tests show that Toshiba Canvio Flex mobile hard drive is quite good. Even in terms of the lowest speed performance, the read and write performance can be stable at around 135MB/s. Toshiba's high quality and three-year warranty make it very safe to use.
Experience summary:
Overall, as a business-oriented mobile hard drive, the overall experience of Toshiba Canvio Flex is satisfactory. The appearance design is excellent and it is very suitable for use in business situations. It comes standard with USB-C and USB-A data cables that support the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, making it easy to use with different devices. The read and write performance can be stable at around 135MB/s, which is sufficient for daily or business use. The 4TB capacity is priced at around 700 yuan, and the price/performance ratio is relatively good. This is a very cost-effective business mobile hard drive product. Friends who like it can give it a try.
I am Ergou, so this sharing ends here. See you next time.
