Toshiba unveils Canvio Flex, a multi-device hard drive for storing and sharing special memories

Coinciding with Valentine’s Day this year, Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has unveiled a practical and stylish gift: the Canvio Flex, a multi-device hard drive for storing and sharing special memories.

This portable external storage drive in 2.5-inch form factor has a new design and comes in a simple and elegant silver finish, making it a functional and beautiful gift.

Flexibility and compatibility are the distinguishing features of the Canvio Flex.

Even if you and your partner use different devices (Android or iOS smartphones, Mac, PC or different tablets^[2]) – with the Canvio Flex you can use just one hard drive to save and share your special moments. The drive can connect directly to these different devices via the included USB Type-C®^[3]or Type-A cable without reformatting.

This also makes the Canvio Flex a long-term companion because even if you change your devices, the Canvio Flex will continue to connect to any of them. Especially the direct connectivity to your smartphone and the ability to make backups make the Canvio Flex quite handy, as many photos and videos are nowadays taken with your mobile phone, as shown in this video.

Instead of expanding the capacity of your cloud storage service, you can take the Canvio Flex with you for quick and easy backups directly from your smartphone, desktop, laptop or tablet, wherever you are, without an internet connection, so you’ll always have all your special memories – whether they’re text files, music, photos or videos – safe and secure for quick and easy sharing. With its plug-and-play philosophy and USB3.2 Gen 1 interface, the Canvio Flex offers fast data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
