Overview

Toshiba Canvio Partner 2TB Portable 2.5’’ External Hard is one of 50 memory cards & storage products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: The Toshiba Canvio Partner provides 2TB of storage space, allowing you to store a vast amount of data, including documents, photos, music, and videos. With its USB 3.0 interface, this external hard drive provides a fast data transfer rate of up to 5Gbps, making it easy to transfer large files quickly. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.5 out of 5 from 12,314 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the memory cards & storage shelf

The typical memory cards & storage product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 50 rated products. This one comes in at 4.5. That's mid-table. Star ratings won't separate this from its neighbours, so the decision comes down to pack size, price per unit and whether the specifics below suit you.

Behind that score sit 12,314 ratings, against a shelf median of 12,973. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.

The shelf runs from £5.94 to £189 and the midpoint is about £20.99. On price, this one is in the top third. It costs more than most while rating around the middle, so the extra money needs to be buying something specific: pack size, brand you trust, or a detail below that matters to you.
