The Toshiba Canvio Ready B3 2TB portable external hard drive delivers data transfer speeds of up to 5.0 Gbit/s across a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, housed in a compact 149-gram chassis that requires no external power supply. This pocket-sized storage solution allows you to expand your file capacity quickly without complex setup routines.

Plug-and-play storage formatted for Windows out of the box

Designed for immediate use, the Canvio Ready B3 comes pre-formatted in the NTFS file system, making it compatible with Microsoft Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8.1 right from the box. For users operating on macOS, the drive can be reformatted to HFS+ to support macOS v10.15, v10.14, and v10.13. Connection is straightforward, utilising a single USB Type-A to Micro-B cable that handles both data transfers and power delivery, eliminating the need to carry a separate AC adapter.

Active physical protection with shock sensors and ramp loading

Mobile storage carries inherent physical risks, which is why this drive incorporates hardware-level safeguards to protect your critical files. An integrated shock sensor detects abrupt physical movements or vibrations, automatically cutting power to the drive head to prevent damage to the platters during transit. Additionally, the ramp-loading design ensures the slider never touches the disk surface, reducing wear on the recording head and media, securing your 2 TB of data against the bumps of daily travel.

Lightweight two-tone design powered entirely by USB

Measuring just 109 x 78 x 14 mm, the Canvio Ready B3 easily fits into a pocket, backpack, or laptop sleeve. The exterior features a distinctive two-tone finish, blending matte and gloss black textures for a clean, professional look. Operating entirely on USB bus power with a maximum draw of 900mA, the drive remains highly efficient, drawing minimal battery life from your host laptop while maintaining reliable performance.

Included accessories and three-year warranty protection

Each drive is backed by a 3-year warranty, offering long-term reliability for your backup needs. The package contains everything required to start transferring files immediately.
