Toshiba has this week added a new addition to their range of portable storage devices, in the form of the newly launched Toshiba Canvio Connect.

The Toshiba Canvio Connect drive has been created to take the pain out of backing up your mobile devices and saving those precious photos and files.

Using PogoPlug cloud storage technology the Toshiba Canvio Connect drive allows you to back up your photos and videos via either Android and iOS devices. Once backed up you can then access your files through the internet and even enjoy a good sized 10GB of free cloud storage.

Maciek Brzeski, vice president of product marketing and development, Branded Storage Products, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division, (phew.. thats one long title), explains :

"Toshiba’s Canvio Connect represents the next evolution in external portable hard drives,”-”With its remote access and file sharing capabilities, users can now share their digital content with friends, family and colleagues from anywhere at any time directly from their Canvio Connect – making it unlike any other portable hard drive on the market.”

Toshiba Canvio Connect drive will be available to purchase in mid-May, priced at $99 for 500GB, $109.99 for 750GB, $129.99 for 1TB, $169.99 for 1.5TB and $189.99 for 2TB.
