Toshiba 1TB Canvio Basics USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (Black)
© 2015 Toshiba
Why not carry your own cloud in your backpack? We've had good luck with this particular 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive although there are now many in the same price range that can do the same job. It's ideal for storing video. Features include a 5Gb/s transfer rate (5400rpm Drive Speed), 8MB Cache Buffer and an internal shock sensor, that we've fortunately not had to test. But we can say that this drive works with Macintosh or Windows operating systems, as well as with Chromebooks. A minor downside -- it uses a non-standard USB 3.0 cable, included in the box. The end that connects to the drive is fat, and non-conventional, but the other end is a standard USB.
$55, Windows, Mac OSX, Chrome
