Toshiba Canvio Basics Spec and Price in the United Kingdom
USB2TB
Canvio Basics is Toshiba's bare portable line: a 2.5-inch drive with USB 3.0 and a two-year warranty — no software, no encryption, per the Toshiba storage page. It is the value end of the portable market, usually the cheapest name-brand 1-4TB drive on the shelf, and the enclosure is not user-serviceable.
