💾 Toshiba Canvio Basics 3TB Black Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - HDTB330XK3CB Review

The first disc out of almost a dozen models from other manufacturers, which died a long time. And in such a record time. I ordered another one, I'll try. 2 years warranty. Pros: Virtually silent. Enters sleep mode after a period of inactivity. I liked the design, although not for everyone Some cons: On the fifth day, after having filled it with films by 80 percent, he began to crack and died. In the future, when connected to a computer, the indicator lights up for a while, goes out and nothing…

An excellent device that has been working almost around the clock without any problems since April 2022 to this day. I want to take the same. Got pros: Silent, falls asleep quickly, does not reveal himself in anything. A pleasant purple discreet indicator only notifies you of the work. Works for me for days: busy transcoding video. Doesn't get hot, slightly warm to the touch. Used as a regular hdd to a computer stick. So far, there have been no complaints since April 2022. Can't sleep while…

I bought it, plugged it into the usb port, heard a terrible sound as if the disk could not be read, then it could not install the driver and the end. In USB 3, it doesn't even see anything.

What could have possibly happened to cause him to lose it like that is beyond my comprehension. Nothing was lost on the floor. Now that I've realized it needs fixing, I'll take it in for service, and I expect to pay a hefty sum. They cited "Mechanical damage" as the cause of the repair. I didn't take it somewhere or drop it. He simply didn't want to be a part of it any longer. After a few months and two repair shops, s. was deemed "Not recoverable." due to a connector being soldered directly

Before then, I rated the disk highly (5 stars); nevertheless, after more than two years of use, I ran into an extremely inconvenient issue. My disk is completely OS X-integrated and simply contains music. Every other week or so, I spend an hour or so adding new music and/or videos to my media library on this device. The disc fails to read for the third time. In other words, it "hangs up" the system, the Finder stops responding, and only a reboot saves data; when connected to Windows, it doesn't

The computer didn't recognize the hard disk when I first attached it. I have been talking to computers for quite some time now, so I started out by connecting to others and finding out that they don't notice it. I was able to enter the hardware configuration menu. In other words, the disk is present and functional, but no operations may be performed on it. After trying a number of other partitioning tools, I decided to format this miracle. But after that, things started running smoothly!

Many people mention a clatter at work. Therefore, there is a clatter while connecting to a standard stationary computer's front-facing USB ports, and the computer misses it. However, when linked to the rear ports, it operates steadily and the computer notices it. Most likely, there is not enough current, which causes the problem; as a result, it clicks. I'm not a techie, so this is just my opinion.

connected to a laptop, made a decision right away, without tambourine dancing. Ntfs formatted. Operates in a zyxel router as a network drive. The disk does not sit idle for a long time because the router contains a built-in DLNA server and a torrent downloader. (24-hour mode of operation. Or, more accurately, left it plugged in and unattended.) If no data is being recorded to or read from the disk, it will eventually power off. Not much light is reflected from the indicator, at least not more…

In general, the model was perfect for me—up to a point, that is! Like snow in May, the event came on suddenly. When transferring media files, the computer hung up so badly that I had to reboot it. That's all, then! Although the disk turned on buzzed, mimicking work, Casper fucking!, no devices could see him any longer. The most intriguing part started right after. About the warranty case, nobody even wanted to know! like a disposable plastic cup! And I spent over 7000 on it! We must speak with…

Obviously, these are the most surface-level observations that may be made regarding the functioning of the gadget. Important characteristics such as longevity and resistance to impact are more useful, but they require more extensive testing. Got pros: The disk is not composed of aluminum, and it also does not employ glossy plastic. However, it is still matte. As a result, it does not scratch easily under normal use (although it does scratch, of course, it's just not as obvious). There are…

We employ a month. purchased on 2/09/16. Order No. 26050535 was placed for my son's (11-year-old) birthday, and he is happy with it. He enjoys watching movies and animations that are stored on the hard drive. I was drawn to the brand, price, and memory size when making a purchase. When downloading, issues went undetected. In terms of download speed, we personally experienced no problems. We are aware that the price will probably increase as memory and speed increase. the service was good. The…

The first disc I used had quite a few undesirables on it. Hardly swapped for another; in the shop, they put up a lot of resistance to the trade. Based on the feedback from the network, it seems to be a rather frequent ailment. Victoria served as the tester. There are hiccups in the speed of USB 2.0, which averages around 30 megabytes per second but is not consistently fast. Even though I waited for two days, I did not wait until the end of the test to answer the question. At the beginning of…

Due to the incorrect name of the volume, I had to dance around the new device with the grandfather's tambourine. An hour later, the Japanese crooked mind was defeated by a 2022 crowbar, and finally the computer saw this disk. In general, this prodigy did not work out of the box. I was on the verge of processing a return, but laziness won.

105 GB transferred in 2 hours. I don't know if it's a lot or a little, but I was pleased. I thought that he would throw it all night.

Occasionally bought this disc on a media player. Then it stopped recognizing the drive. But then I tried other cables and turned it on and off, checked for system errors to no avail, I gave up and will be sending it back. It works fine with my laptop and desktop computer but not with devices like media player, blu-ray player, onyko receiver. I connected three different brands of USB 2 and USB 3 powered external hard drives and they worked fine on the devices but not on this drive.

I like Toshiba Canvio external drives and find them very reliable. I am using it in combination with another 2TB external drive as I had an old 1TB external drive (Western Digital) that failed a few months ago. This was my only offsite backup and I used it with a previous computer that died so it had files that didn't get copied back to my new computer. Unfortunately, these files were lost when the drive died. Lesson learned, I now use 2 backups! The small, compact size makes it easy to…

I bought this to use with my Mac. I ran into a small issue while formatting that I couldn't find an answer to here, so thought I'd write a review in case anyone else has the same issue: ," format change on Mac OS (Journaled) I have one Got an error message and when I unplugged and plugged the device back in it said the drive was unreadable It still showed up in Disk Utility but was grayed out I have contacted tech support at the number provided on the product box called and was told the drive…

The most underrated technology maker. I've had other external hard drives from other manufacturers and they all ended up with sector failures or total drive failures. I have a hard time with them (I have them in 4 different sizes) - they all live in little electronics cases that I've attached velcro to and then velcro to the back of my laptop screen. They are moved a lot, treated well, but actively used. You have never let me down. Two are connected to my machine right now. Highly recommended!

"Not fast" compared to some of the newer high speed USB and SCSI drives. The speed decreases as more data is written to the disc, presumably because the outer tracks are used first, followed by the lower surface speed inner tracks. The slowdown is significant. I haven't measured the deceleration yet, but it could be double that. In general, it's roughly comparable to a medium-quality USB drive. I still value the convenience - I do overnight backups. Since I'm currently using three identical…

I play video games online but my internet speed sucks so downloading updates and new games can be a problem. Add to that the lack of disk space and the need to choose which games to delete to free up disk space. This thing is a life saver. I always keep it connected to my Ps4 Pro. There are no lags, I haven't had any lag issues when playing games that require a constantly stable connection, and my consoles run much faster with all that new free disk space. Highly recommended for anyone who…
