Portable storage for Windows and Mac users

The Toshiba Canvio Advance HDTCA10XW3AA is a 1TB portable hard drive with a USB 3.0 interface. It comes formatted NTFS for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. Mac users on macOS 10.13, 10.14 or 10.15 must reformat the drive before use. The white, textured enclosure weighs .33 lb and measures .55 by 3.10 by 4.30 inches.

Fits a 2.5 inch bay and draws power from the host

The drive uses a 2.5 inch form factor and connects via an included USB 3.0 cable that also works with USB 2.0 ports. No external power adapter is required, freeing a mains socket and reducing cable clutter. A quick start guide is included in the package for immediate setup.

Sustained transfers rely on mechanical throughput

Under continuous load the drive delivers performance typical of a 2.5 inch mechanical disk over USB 3.0. Write speeds will settle below the interface burst rate as the platters spin. The included Toshiba Storage Backup and Security software runs in the background to automate backups and password-protect data during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

Will the drive overheat or throttle during long file transfers?

The 2.5-inch form factor and USB 3.0 interface keep power draw low enough that the drive runs cool and quiet during extended use.

How much noise and heat does it produce when running all day?

With no fan and a low-power mechanical design, it stays silent and only warm to the touch after hours of continuous operation.

Do I need a USB 3.0 port on my laptop for this drive to work?

It works with any available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port; the included cable is backward compatible.
