It returned a good score of 5,566 points on the PCMark 05 hard drive test, 1,460 points on the PCMark 7 drive test, and took 13 seconds to copy our standard test folder. Performance and Cost On our tests, the Canvio Connect II proved to be reasonably fast. It comes with a two-year warranty, which is the same as the Seagate Backup Plus. Other capacities are available for the Canvio Connect II, including 500GB ($64.99), 1TB ($74.99), and 3TB ($149.99). That's neat, but the competing Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive comes with 200GB of Microsoft OneDrive online storage. Like the Toshiba Canvio Connect (750GB), this drive comes with 10GB of cloud storage on PogoPlug's online service. You have to keep your PC on to keep PogoPlug active, but then you can access the files on your Canvio Connect II via the Internet. It also comes with PogoPlug PC, which lets you host personal cloud services on your laptop or desktop. NTI Backup Now EZ is bundled with the Canvio Connect II for backing up Windows PCs.
#REFORMAT CANVIO PREMIUM FOR MAC DRIVER#
You have to reformat it for HFS+ if you want to use it with a Mac exclusively, or exFAT if you want to be able to write to the drive from both OS X and Windows without having to load a driver on either one. The drive is formatted for NTFS, and it comes with a NTFS driver for OS X. The 2TB of space is certainly enough to back up most desktops, and just about any current laptop.
The top of the drive has a circular activity light, and the back has a micro USB 3.0 port for the included USB cable. The metallic finish extends over five of the device's six sides, while the bottom panel is a matte white. The drive is available in five colors: black, blue, red, white, and the satin gold of our review unit.
