Portable 2 TB USB 3.0 drive for creators

The Toshiba Canvio Advance HDTCA20XG3AA is a 2 TB portable hard drive with a USB 3.0 interface in a green finish. It stores large collections of photos, music and videos while remaining compact enough for travel. The drive is formatted NTFS for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 out of the box.

Best for Windows users needing simple extra space

This drive suits photographers, videographers or music lovers who want plug-and-play capacity on Windows without installing extra drivers. It requires reformatting before use with macOS 10.15, 10.14 or 10.13, so buyers who need immediate cross-platform compatibility should look at something else.

Steady throughput for large file transfers

Under sustained load the USB 3.0 connection delivers consistent sequential performance when moving multi-gigabyte media libraries. The 2.5 inch form factor keeps power draw low enough for bus-powered operation during long copy sessions. The textured casing helps dissipate heat during extended use.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port must my computer have to use the Canvio Advance 2TB drive?

The drive ships with a USB 3.0 cable that also works with USB 2.0 ports, so any available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port will connect it.

Will the green Canvio Advance work straight away on my Windows 8.1 laptop?

Yes, the drive comes formatted NTFS for Microsoft Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, so it is ready to use without reformatting on those systems.

How can I confirm the drive is operating at USB 3.0 speed after I plug it in?

Check the transfer rate in your operating system; a sustained read or write well above the USB 2.0 maximum indicates the USB 3.0 connection is active.
