Good spot - voted hot.
I have a few Toshiba 1/2/3 TB drives and find them very reliable.

Great price heat added

All my pc internal hard drives are Toshiba, no issues yet. Heat

Good price.

Can this be put in to the ps4?

Can this be used for an Xbox One?

I think regarding PS4, they're wondering if they can crack open the enclosure and install the 3TB drive as the PS4's internal storage, as it's not super useful over USB.

Great find, ordered :wink:

Think its been mentioned before its to thick to go in ps4

can anyone tell me what is the read / write speed please?

When benchmarking, we saw CrystalDiskMark sequential read/write speeds of 143MBps/136MBps, and in PCMark 8 the drive achieved a storage score of 2038.

Bought this from Argos at this price. Good drive so far.

My toshiba portable drive seems to eject itself from my mac every few minutes. Anyone got a solution? Don't want to replace it with another toshiba if it's just gonna happen again.

it may also be going to sleep. see if you can change the sleep policy.

Bought this drive from Argos a few days ago (same price). Seems good so far, good speeds.

despatched within 1-4 weeks..... get it from argos same price

Oh I see, totally misread that lol! I know on the XB1 it works perfectly through USB and heard it did the same for PS4 externally :P

Most Toshiba's like this have been fine for me. As Twe + Beljim says try another cable, try ordering a 3.0 splitter cable in case it's not getting enough juice or adjust the sleep settings :smiley:

​It was in store at £75, was posted last week on hukd.

I have been looking for a reliable external hard drive and I want something that is about 2-3TB what else besides storage capacity do I need to consider when purchasing a hard drive? What is the main cost driving factor(what feature causes the price to go up)?

Thanks for your help guys, I'll give a new cable a go.

This looks expired now, but a similar one here at Argos @ £69.99 -

Toshiba Canvio Ready Portable Hard Drive - 3TB - Product code:462/6459
Anyone seen any more?
EDIT - this has now dropped from £74.99 to £64.99:
3TB Toshiba Canvio Connect II Portable Hard Drive

The only difference I can see is colour and the 64.99 has pre-loaded ****, would that be all removed with a format?
