Like fellow diskmakers Seagate and Western Digital, Toshiba has been able to shave some useful millimetres from the overall dimensions of this Canvio Basics 1TB. Not in thickness as we saw with Seagate’s Seven^mm drive, but in length.The Canvio Basics’ case is made from basic black plastic, gloss on top, matt to the sides, that is snapped-sealed closed. There’s the usual Micro-USB 3.0 port on one end, the company logo on top, and that’s about it.
