The latter comes with built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption plus WD Security software and WD Backup software for free. On the other hand, both are significantly more expensive than the Seagate Expansion 4TB (opens in new tab) model – at $90 (around £70) – or the WD My Passport (opens in new tab) which costs $95 (around £74). The Canvio Basics 4TB sells for $110 (opens in new tab) (around £85) at Amazon, only $5 less than the Canvio Advance (opens in new tab).
A 10GB file took a whole 80 seconds to be transferred, which is better than we’d expect. It scored between 145 and 158MBps on CrystalDiskMark 6.0 and Atto (read and write speeds) with slightly lower numbers recorded on AS SSD. They might be a bit faster and consume a bit less power, but all in all, users won’t notice that much of a difference.Įven so, the performance of the drive was quite decent for a spinning hard disk. In other words, the current crop of 4TB hard drives are no different from the ones that came out in 2015. The market hasn’t evolved significantly over the past four years, since the first 2.5-inch 4TB hard drive was launched. Here’s how the Toshiba Canvio 4TB performed in our benchmark tests:ĬrystalDiskMark: 146MBps (read) 154MBps (write)Ītto: 153MBps (read, 256mb) 158MBps (write, 256mb)ĪS SSD: 137MBps (seq read) 132MBps (seq write) Performance
