I bought the Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB external hard drive (model HDTB520XK3AA) to back up my files, and it’s been absolutely reliable. It’s truly plug-and-play — I connected it to my laptop and it was ready to use within seconds, no setup or software required. The transfer speed is great for everyday use — I’ve moved large folders of photos and videos with no problem. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry in a backpack or laptop case.
