The first solution is Toshiba Canvio Basics, a really compact external hard drive with a capacity of 1 TB. Alternatively you have the Seagate Expansion, which also has a compact design and a capacity of 1TB. The difference between both units are few, but they exist.
Toshiba Canvio Basics, simple as well as economical
Having a backup system in the cloud is a good thing, that is undeniable, but it is not the best option. Google has imposed limitations on the Driver and Photos capacity, so it’s not like before. We must find an alternative solution to have the photos and video, among other documents, that are important to us.
This Toshiba drive has a compact design, being based on a HDD drive 2.5-inch format and 1TB capacity. It belongs to the “Standard” range, which indicates that it is the simplest solution currently offered by the brand. Despite this, the unit offers USB 3.2 Gen1 connectionto be able to transfer data at a good speed.
This unit maintains the classic design, marked by a slim and compact case, with a matte finish. A simple solution, as well as elegant. It has a status ledto verify that you are connected and that the transfer is proceeding properly.
The Toshiba unit has dimensions of 109x78x14 mm and a weight of 150 grams, being ideal to be able to transport it without problems. Note that this unit offers us a speed of transfer of more than 100 MB/s.
For those who want to store their important files safely, this is an excellent option. It’s not as fast as SSD-based or network-based solutions, but it’s still a very good value for money.
Seagate Expansion, very versatile and fast
As an alternative we have another hard drive manufacturer which is well known. Seagate is one of those brands that have been manufacturing storage units of different types for a lifetime. This unit offers us some small extras, which may be of interest to the user if he wants to make backup copies of his main files.
Like the previous unit, this one is based on a hdd 2.5 inches and has a capacity of 1TB. This capacity is more than enough, allowing us to store a huge amount of photos and videos, as well as other important files that we have.

A unit, on the other hand, really compact. This Seagate external hard drive has dimensions of 80x150x117 mm and a weight of just over 180 grams.
The drive is really very good and offers great features as well as a (limited) data recovery system. Note that it is one of the best-selling units on the market, it will be for a reason.
