I only buy this brand personally, they are reliable in the long term, for films it's perfect they are the quietest I know, hoping that it continues with the restructuring of the brand...
Am I the only one that noticed, when he removed the drive from inside the case and flipped it over there was a warning about covering the breathing hole BUT the case has no hole where that one is? That case covers the hole for cooling up and I imagine it'll get overheated with use if you're doing a big move of files or such. In every photo I see blown up as large as I can, as well as this video as large as possible enlarged I see a "dot" on the case but it's not an open hole. It'd a blue LED. Hmmm.
I also noticed it and wondered why there is no hole... But this HDD is connected to my PC and I'm using it every day for my RUclips videos (4k) for storing and editing and so far haven't been any problem.
I have to ask because it's not available what RPM speed is it & it does not mention platters either? what's the shock resistance? because it must have spinning disc.
Hello @Aliwall,,,, i wanted to buy this and put it in my laptop as my secondary storage ,,, i also have an ssd which boots windows,,,is it okay if i do so?
How come I can’t drag and drop something on it it? I just bought it and I don’t know if I have to do something for it to work or if there’s something wrong with this product
I'm using PC and I edit my 4K YT videos from this HDD but my PC is slow and video is lagging - Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 16GB RAM, Radeon RX 580. So I can't tell how good is this HDD for video editing but I think it's not bad.
Yes I still use it every day. It's connected to my PC. Sorry but I don't know what the difference between them, probably HDTB520 is newer model so i would take it.
I would guess that your PC USB port is damaged, try to connect in other USB port or other PC, try another USB cable. If the speed does not improve then the hard disk is most likely damaged.
Try this: If you recently plugged in an external hard drive and downloaded games onto you might have set it as your main hard drive for steam to download on. -Go to Steam Settings -Downloads -Click Steam Library Folders -Then Rightclick the directory your main hard drive / SSD is located -Press Default Folder. -Done, Download games again. OR Open steam as admin and then try to download
I don't feel any difference for storing music, videos and other files. Toshiba HDD I use for video editing, before that I used WD and I don't feel any different.
I don't use Amazon so I don't know what to do, but probably you need return it. In your account need to be "return request" button or something like that.
problem is that permanent sata usb connector you can not switch them if the controller goed bad same on portables wd drives only a few seagate portables have a standard usb sata connector And always store your data on 2 drives at the same time because portables have an even higher error rate then 3.5 drives actually you should always use 2 or 3 drives for mirror to be save
@@benitostudiosofficial8701 i bought it and used for only one month it got damaged and they are not responding to the our claim of warranty on the product which is 3 years...
This is special tool for opening smartphones etc. but yeah guitar pick will do the same. But at first I tried to find guitar pick but remembered that I have this one. 😄
Hi! I want to know if this specific HDD is compatible with an up to date PS4? I've seen countless videos of it working with ease but when I connect mine it says that it is not compatible. I don't understand. Thanks a lot everyone!

What a lovely and quietly review ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Consistent copy speed !!! This is better than just being high speed 👍🏻👍🏻
Great review !!
Thanks ✌️
Finally a good video helping me picking a drive.
Thanks!
Awesome. Underrated Channel 💕
Thank you so much 😄
Great review! No talking - just facts!
Glad you liked it!
They really did a western digital move of having the usb interface permanently on the hard drive.
Almost 1 year later... how was the external hdd? Is it still working? Is the health still at 100%?
It is connected to my computer all the time. I use it every day and have had no problems with it.
I have to ask because it's not available what RPM speed is it & it does not mention platters either? what's the shock resistance? because it must have spinning disc.
It have 5400rpm and 1TB platter technology. About shock resistance I found out that it has shock sensor, nothing more. Hope this will help you.
@@AliWall Thankyou for the reply.Todays tec should provide 7200rpm & a circuit board for buffering memory that's a minimum.
Fantastic! Sparta style video. Quick and best information.... thanks! Perfect!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
If this was made in 1980 a crane could lift it and it would be about the size on a cruise ship..
😂
Very nice 👍👍👍👍 I teardown using a opening tool.....
Nice 👍
Hello @Aliwall,,,, i wanted to buy this and put it in my laptop as my secondary storage ,,, i also have an ssd which boots windows,,,is it okay if i do so?
Yes. I have connected this HDD to my PC all the time.
I purchase this today.
Good choice!
Is this okay for Final Cut Pro?
Yes, I use it with Adobe Premiere Pro. 👍
How come I can’t drag and drop something on it it? I just bought it and I don’t know if I have to do something for it to work or if there’s something wrong with this product
Try to format it and check then if you can drag and drop.
Did it wrk when you format it? Are u on a pc or mac?
How well does it handle 4k editing?
I'm using PC and I edit my 4K YT videos from this HDD but my PC is slow and video is lagging - Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 16GB RAM, Radeon RX 580. So I can't tell how good is this HDD for video editing but I think it's not bad.
which will be the best Basics or Advance? can you please tell me
Advance is newer model, it have password protection, auto-backup software but everything else I think are the same (speed and size).
@@AliWall thnx a lot
@@armanhossain7162 Well does it work well? I've seen people complain alot about it
Planning to buy this for my ps4, should i? Hows the performance so far?
You still have this drive? Is reliable?
And now is HDTB520EK3AA,
Instead of HDTB420EK3AA...
Why? Thank you!
Yes I still use it every day. It's connected to my PC. Sorry but I don't know what the difference between them, probably HDTB520 is newer model so i would take it.
Thanks bro .. for the review 👍
No problem 👍
I bough one but it is going too slow, max 20 bytes, and most of the time is not even on 1 byte/s, what can I do?
I would guess that your PC USB port is damaged, try to connect in other USB port or other PC, try another USB cable. If the speed does not improve then the hard disk is most likely damaged.
Awesome review
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for this thorough review. Liked it so much.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Is this a good option for storing my videos and pictures?
Yes, I use it for my RUclips videos.
can i use this to play games on my ps5
Sorry, I don't know.
maybe realy old games, but newer big games isnt possible. i am realy shure
Does the external hard drive still works today? :)
Yes, it's connected to my PC since I bought it and I use it every day for my YT videos (storing and making).
@@AliWall Hello can you use it to store big triple A games and game with it? Since i bought a new PC but Theres not enough storage in it for my games.
How did you change the speed ?
The speed varies depending on which USB port your computer has - USB2.0 or USB3.0. Usually USB3.0 is blue color and USB 2.0 is in black color.
Can I put it inside my laptop to replace my 1 tera hard drive?
I know that it is possible but you need to check connectors and size. Check this video - ruclips.net/video/Yny4TVsVbHM/видео.html
@AliWall sorry though you have try it .My laptop use the same connector as usual 2.5" hard disk dell
No. It doesn't have a SATA interface, only USB
Lifting the laptop at 4.30 i was gone with the speed of SSD windows driven PC Brrrrrrrr i'll stick with SanDisk :-)
Can be change format to ntfs or f32fat?
It has NTFS and exFAT.
Is it good for gaming like i want to buy it for my ps4
Would this work on a ps5
Don't know. Check official Toshiba homepage, there should be an informational about it.
Can this be formatted to ExFat ? For larger file transfers ?
Yes it can.
this or wd elements?
I don't feel any difference.
Is this compatible with ps4 ps5 and pc?
I saw in your video, outer sticker on unit says Made in China, sticker inside unit says Philippines. What gives? Nice review though
Yeah, I hadn't noticed. 😄
i bought exactly like this one 2 days ago and now its broken.
Take it back to the store, they should give you a new one or give you your money back.
Can I use this for games on PC ?
Yes of course.
I have this and I try to download steam games but my disk goes to 100 disk usage help plz

If you recently plugged in an external hard drive and downloaded games onto you might have set it as your main hard drive for steam to download on.
