“Lots of storage space for minimal amount”
Professional reviewers commend the Canvio Basics for its unbeatable price-per-gigabyte, solid sequential throughput and error-free operation, labeling it a reliable workhorse for everyday storage. However, they consistently point out its poor random-file write performance, noticeable heat during long transfers, and the lack of any backup or encryption utilities, which limits its appeal for power users.
Consumers overwhelmingly value the drive's plug-and-play simplicity, large 2TB capacity, and portability, often highlighting how easy it is to set up and use with PCs, consoles and TVs. Complaints are relatively few but focus on occasional disconnections, heat buildup, and the missing security features.
