The Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB (HDTCA20AK3AA) is a black portable hard drive for storing and carrying everyday files. Its textured enclosure is paired with downloadable backup and password-protection software.

Key Benefits

• 2TB capacity for documents, photos, videos and other files.
• Included USB-A cable connects to a compatible computer.
• USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
• USB bus-powered, with no separate power adapter required.
• Backup and password-protection software available to download.

Portable storage without a separate power supply

The compact textured enclosure measures 109 × 78 × 14mm and weighs approximately 149g. The drive takes power through its USB connection, so there is no separate mains adapter to carry.

USB-A connection and Windows-ready formatting

Use the supplied USB-A-to-Micro-B cable with a compatible computer. The drive is NTFS-formatted for Windows; macOS use requires reformatting. Reformatting erases existing data, so copy any files you need before changing the file system.

Downloadable backup and security tools

Toshiba Backup Software and Toshiba Security Software are available to download. Use supported software to set up backups or password protection; these functions require software installation and configuration. Check the software’s operating-system requirements before use.

Technical Specifications

Capacity is stated in decimal terabytes. Usable capacity is lower after formatting, and the capacity shown by your operating system may differ. Actual transfer speeds depend on the computer, USB connection and files being transferred.
