Canvio: Toshiba's first 1TB portable hard drive
30.03.10
The company announced Monday the new Canvio Portable Hard Drive , which has a capacity up to 1TB. Despite the large amount of storage, the new drive remains compact and portable, measuring just 3.1 inches wide by 4.7 inches long by 0.65 inch deep and weighing only 6.3 ounces.
The Canvio comes with only one USB 2.0 port that works both for the data and power connection. Unfortunately, the drive doesn't support USB 3.0, which offers significantly higher throughput speeds than USB 2.0.
Toshiba says that the new drive is designed to help PC users back up their data conveniently. The drive comes with NTI BackupNow EZ backup software that offers "set-it-and-forget-it" operation. The software also has search capabilities and simple step-by-step restore functionality to retrieve lost files.

Make sure you buy a router and network cards that support the 1GB transfer rate. For routers, the LinkSys WRT350N would work. Also, upgrade your network cables from Cat5e to Cat6 (Cat6 supports faster data transfer rates and better shielding from noise).
If you really need blazing fast speed and have the money to spend, consider setting up a file server with multiple network cards connected to a professional grade router (Cisco or equivalent).
