In terms of speed, Toshiba's Canvio Basics HDTB320EK3CA 2TB cannot keep up with the hard drive from Seagate; it even comes in last in this test field. Nevertheless, the Japanese model also offers decent performance that is fully sufficient for everyday use. The plus points of the Canvio Basics HDTB320EK3CA 2TB are its handy dimensions and an attractive appearance...
The Toshiba HDTB320EK3CA Canvio Basic is a good hard drive that only requires a few compromises in terms of performance. In return, however, the power consumption is very low, the noise level is right and the mobility can also be rated as successful.
- Good transfer rates
- Relatively low power consumption
- Price-performance ratio
The Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB does not show any weaknesses in the test, but it does not deliver top results either. The transfer rates of just under 100 MB/s are just above average and the power consumption is also respectable. The highlight, however, is the low price: at only 4.3 cents per GByte, the Toshiba is one of the cheapest hard drives in our best list.
