Review: Great Product! - A great product with a good memory.
Review: Playstation 4 & 5 Compatable! - UPDATE: Still using this drive and has been reliable and a great buy from desertcart. Recently after receiving a VIP code for a PlayStation 5 I sold my PlayStation 4 and now on the latest gen. I hooked everything up the same but this time you want to plug the Toshiba hard drive to the back of the PlayStation 5 as it has x2 USB 3.0 ports. I’ve copied some games to it and it’s still been fine and have been running PlayStation 4 games on it such as Wolfenstein Alt Collection, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 & 2, Serious Sam etc and has worked flawlessly. This drive will also store your PlayStation 5 games on it but won’t be able to run them as it’s not a SSD so not compatible for that but for storage and being able to run those PlayStation 4 Disc and Digital games it’s still a top gem. At the end of the day it’s an external hard drive and like any other 3.0 with a usb they will work for Playstation or Xbox. If they have their own format tool which they do you won’t have any problems. The first thing that comes up once you’ve connected it and powered on the console a message saying “Not Compatable”. Well it actually is it’s just that it’s not formatted and more like it’s been pre formatted to NTFS which is what windows use. Once you have formatted it, it takes literally seconds that’s it. Once you go to your system settings scroll down to Devices, USB Storage Devices, External USB 3.0 Toshiba. There it will ask you to format to an extended storage. Please note, once you have done this the preferred drive will be the external one, I’d suggest to use the internal hard drive for main storage as it will be more cooled from the fan inside the console. If you have say The Last Of Us which is about 50GB move that over to the external drive as there isn’t anymore updates for that game now. While on the subject keep games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on the main drive I only say as with new games your going to get a lot of updates like still Grand Theft Auto 5 and running the external drive constantly with the updates ploughing at it every day or so wouldn’t be good for it. I haven’t tried any of the games running off it yet but from what I read online they run faster apparently. I would recommend a 4TB hard drive as after the format with the systems own volume putting its own data on your left with about 3.5TB

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is this listed if Amazon has just emailed me to say they can’t source it?!**
A: They deffinetly have them in , iv just ordered 2 and they have come today

**Q: Does this hard drive allow Apple products to download their photos and videos on to it? Do I need a particular cable to do this?**
A: Multiple models are listed here. I think you've asked about the Canvio Basics model, but this question shows up for all without that context. For those looking at the Canvio Flex, that comes with both USB-C and USB-A, and is preformatted with a format that will work on MacOS, Windows, and many other devices. You may want to reformat if only using for Apple devices, but it should work as is.

**Q: Looking same model in blue colour.... Is it available in blue colour 4tb toshiba canvio**
A: I bought a 4tb hdd but it had less than 1tb of useable memory. I was thinking of returning it but this is difficult without access to a printer.
After three weeks it's stopped working completely, the disk spins but nothing happens.
I think these are fake as Toshiba will never make something so poor.

**Q: Thinking about a purchase but the details above are incorrect, ie hard drive size 4gb. assume mistake but...? ram size 4tb!**
A: It is a misprint in the boxed section above. The ad does indeed say 4GB but above and below this it states 4TB which is correct.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large and cheap for USB-A devices
*by C***D on 15 November 2022*

This drive is now attached to an Apple AirPort Extreme Router and handles all my Mac backups automatically and reliably. This hard drive has a USB-A connector instead of the more modern USB-C which is useless if you try to plug it into a USB-A device! Something to look out for. It works with no problems, power comes from the router so just one cable. The router only supports two TB partitions, so you need to partition the drive into 2 x 2TB before you can use it for this purpose. The price is below 2 pence per Gigabyte, so no complaints at all.
