Review on (Old Model) Toshiba Canvio Connect 500GB Portable Hard Drive by Jerry Mills

Toshiba isn't always my favorite brand. I consider her mediocre. However, with the external Canvio series, my personal experience made me take a closer look at this device. First, I've worked with and owned many brands of external drives, including plug-in models. Technically, my standalone models have 7200rpm hard drives from leading OEMs. And that's why these devices need to transfer data faster than Canvio's 5200 RPM. But this was not the case. Not only were the Canvio series devices faster than anything I've ever used in this category, independent online reviews comparing devices from different manufacturers backed up my findings. At the time of writing this review I have three of these drives and will be purchasing more in the future. for newcomers; Note that there are three factors that affect your data transfer speed: 1- The rotation speed of the hard drive. 2 - USB type on both ends. 3 - the quality of the block controller. In my experience, the best controller is the most important thing. Price note: The Canvio series might be a bit more expensive than some competing brands, but not enough to convince me to slow down.
