Note that you could always buy a Micro-B to Type-C cable. Models that will compete with the Toshiba Canvio Flex will have a longer-than-average warranty as well as a Type-C connector at one end. Still, it can’t hide the fact that traditional hard drive technology has reached a plateau both in terms of throughput, access time and sheer speed, something that doesn’t remove the intrinsic quality of the Canvio Flex. It reached about 150MBps on average, on read/write speeds across our suite of benchmarks which is more than decent but still around a third compared to the slowest external solid state drives.Ī 10GB file was transferred at a respectable 80MBps average transfer rate is one of the fastest we’ve recorded for an external hard disk drive. When it comes to sheer performance, the Canvio Flex performed in line with the rest of the competition, including the older Toshiba Canvio drives. The drive doesn’t come with any utilities like some of its competitors there’s no free backup software, no cloud backup services and no Adobe creative cloud trial (like for Seagate). Here’s how the Toshiba Canvio Flex 2TB performed in our suite of benchmark tests:ĬrystalDiskMark: 145MBps (read) 152MBps (write)Ītto: 144MBps (read, 256mb) 150MBps (write, 256mb)ĪS SSD: 121MBps (seq read) 129MBps (seq write)
