The Canvio Advance comes in a stout box with a largish panel cut into the front of it, giving a view of the drive in its inner packaging. The drive's capacity is displayed on the top right of the box while warranty information is displayed at the bottom left. The rear of the box is has multilingual information about the Backup and Password Protection software downloads.
Apart from the drive all that is in the box is a USB 3.0 Type A to Micro-B cable, which could do with being a little longer for PC connections, and two paper information leaflets, one with details on how to contact Toshiba support and the other providing regulatory information. The Canvio Advance's manual comes pre-loaded on the drive itself.
The Advance is available in four high-gloss finishes; black, white, blue and red. To keep them looking as fresh as the day you opened the box you will need a micro fibre cloth close to hand as these glossy finishes are real finger print magnets.
Using the CrystalMarkInfo utility the drive inside the Advance's enclosure is recognised as a 2TB Toshiba MQ04UBD200, using two 1TB platters with a spindle speed of 5,400rpm.
