Toshiba has announced today a new portable hard drive in the Canvio Connect. The drive will be available in capacities up to 2TB and comes in black, silver, blue, red and white colors. Toshiba says you can share files directly from the device at anytime, although that does require the drive do be connected to an internet-enabled PC that is powered on. So for those thinking this is an standalone WiFi hard drive it is not.
Toshiba has their own Storage iOS and Android apps for accessing the data on the drive when it is connected to the internet. As a bonus the Convio Connect also comes with 10GB of free cloud storage. Pricing is as follows, 500GB: $99, 750GB: $109.99, 1TB: $129.99, 1.5TB: $169.99 and 2TB $189.99. The drives will be available in mid-May.
