According to new research, Americans worry more about losing their digital valuables, such as family photos, home videos and important documents, from a computer crash than having a wallet lost or stolen and being audited by the IRS. In response, Toshiba today introduced the Canvio Portable Hard Drive product line, an easy-to-use computer backup solution with up to one terabyte (1TB) of storage capacity to protect the enormous amounts of digital content Americans are creating and storing on home computers. Suggested retail prices by capacities are:

  • $119.99 for the 500GB Canvio
  • $139.99 for the 640GB Canvio
  • $159.99 for the 750GB Canvio Plus
  • $199.99 for the 1TB Canvio Plus

The stylish Canvio product line comes in five colors and four storage capacities, ranging from 500GB to 1TB. At the top capacity, the Canvio holds up to 285,000 digital photos, 263,000 digital music files, or 820 digital movies. Consumers can easily back up entire music, photo or home video libraries with this vast amount of storage space. Smaller than a postcard and weighing about six ounces, the Canvio is portable, providing a great emergency solution for saving digital memories in the event of a home catastrophe. In fact, survey respondents ranked their digital memories third in a list of items they would take with them in the event of a home evacuation, excluding family members and pets only behind money and family photos.
