CONCLUSION

   Although for a 2019 model we were surprised to see that the Canvio Ready line does not (yet) include a 5TB model (mainly because Toshiba doesn’t have a 5TB 2.5” internal HDD currently) 4TB is not a small capacity and should easily cover the majority of consumers and many professionals alike. Read and write performance levels are also very good and although we’ve seen faster drives to date the Canvio Ready 4TB does not disappoint. The plastic enclosure is also quite good although yes, we do prefer the more elegant and higher quality ones used in the more expensive “advanced” and “premium” lines.

   The Canvio Ready 4TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive by Toshiba currently retails for USD143.23 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 114.99Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) a price tag which is actually a tad higher than what we were expecting on the other side of the Atlantic. That being said pricing in the EU is somewhat balanced and that along with its very good performance levels and plenty of capacity are enough for the new Canvio Ready 4TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive to get highly recommended by us.
