About this product
The Toshiba MQ01UBD100 is a portable 2.5-inch external hard drive, presented in a sleek black finish. Despite being labeled as an external hard drive, the 'Type' and 'Drive Type(s) Supported' specs indicate it is an SSD, offering 931.51 GB of storage capacity. It features a USB 3.0 interface for connectivity and is compatible with laptops, Macs, and PCs, making it a versatile storage solution. The drive is USB-powered and designed for portability, ideal for on-the-go use.
Our take
I was intrigued by the 'SSD' designation for this Toshiba drive, especially at its price point. While the 'Read Speed' of 3.0 Gbps (likely Gbit/s, or SATA 2.6 speeds) isn't top-tier for an SSD, it's still a significant upgrade over traditional HDDs. The 931.51 GB capacity is a solid amount for backups or carrying important files. Its 2.5-inch form factor and USB 3.0 interface make it very convenient and easy to use with various devices. It's a decent option if you need a portable drive and prioritize the SSD benefit over raw speed, but the capacity is slightly under 1TB.
