Toshiba - External Hard Drive Toshiba HDTB420EK3AA 2 TB 2,5 USB 3.0 Black

Im using this for movie storage with a Firestick 4K max, OS 7.xx. Works great, but a few special notes. 1. it will not run on the measly 1Amp current supplied by the stock Firestick power supply. So you cannot just plug this into an OTG adapter - will spin up partially, then shut off every 2 seconds. if using this with a USB hub, youll have to HUB with its own power supply to drive this - it will not get enough power from the firestick USB connection alone. Another option is to use a 2Amp phone charging power supply [not the stock 1Amp supply] into the Firestick, so that this hard drive can get enough power to run. 2. The only way I could connect this to run was to use the following setup. Youll find that many OTG cables and 90° Usb adapter things to not work. Here is my setup: Firestick 4K max - using stock 1Amp power supply OTG cable MUST BE ONLY THIS ONE: ---Micro USB HUB Adaptor with Power, TUSITA 3-Port Charging OTG Host Cable Cord Adapter. USB HUB plugged into the OTG cable: ---UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub Ethernet Adapter 10 100 1000 Gigabit Network Converter with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Hub Extra 2Amp power supply plugged into the Ugreen hub - purchased separately ---UGREEN AC DC Power Adapter 5V2A - Power Supply Adapter 100-240V, AC Adapter 2000mA, DC Wall Charger Plug with OD: 3.55mm with this setup, the hard drive works great, and I can use the other ports on my hub for bluetooth devices, or for other USB flash drives.

Crashed after a month of use.

Buon prodotto per chi ha bisogno di archiviare dati

Es el cuarto disco externo que adquiero de la misma marca, lo cual en mi opinión es una garantía. Pero al igual que los anteriores los de 1 tb quedan en 0,93, los de 2 tb en 1,81 y este que es de 4 tb en 3,63. De todos modos es una gran capacidad. Lo recibí hoy, el envío fué muy rápido y por ese lado, muy bien. En cuanto al funcionamiento estoy transfiriendo los primeros archivos y solo puedo decir que ka velocidad de transmisión es de 553 KB/segundo lo cual no es gran cosa, pero seguramente se debe a los pendrives de origen que son antiguos. La instalación es fácil y rápida, conectarlo y ya. En general bien.

I must say Im very pleased with this excellent little unit. Its small, USB powered, fast, stores a huge amount of data and is made by Toshiba (a make I trust). I got it for storing and consolidating sound samples for music making from various flash drives I have dotted around the house. Although flash drives are generally reliable (especially the SanDisk ones I normally use -- please see my separate reviews) I still like to have back ups so it was time to back up everything and have it all handily in one place, and this Toshiba Canvio Partner 4TB Portable 2.5 External HDD is perfect for the job. I absolutely couldnt be happier with my purchase. Speed-wise its great for what I need it for. Its fast; very fast, and is the fastest drive I own (with file transfer speeds often reaching 130 MB/s [about 1.30 minutes to copy about 10 GB of data]). However, different files, quantities and sizes tend to copy at different speeds, which seems to be how Windows operates, rather than the device itself. Some of my files whizz onto the drive while others take a little longer, but the time factor isnt an issue with me as I just leave the copying process running while I do other things on my computer. This doesnt affect the copying so Im happy to leave it running for as long as it needs. Maybe alternative models will transfer a little faster and maybe they wont, but as far as Im concerned the speed of this one is more than adequate. To put a figure on it to give an idea of averages, a folder full of sound samples can copy between 70 MB/s to 110 MB/s, but a good folder of more even files can copy at a steady 110 MB/s to 120 MB/s. Please note the word copy in the above as this is the function I use the drive for, and as such I havent tried moving files (which may transfer faster). I invariably copy from USB 3.0 devices and as this is USB 3.2 the process is quick, but even on slower drives and SD cards it still isnt much of a bother. As above, I just set it up and leave it, as whats an extra bit of time here and there? Once the bulk of the copying is done all I need to do is back up newer files as I create or acquire them, which is a breeze. The smaller size (10.9 x 1.95 x 7.8 cm -- probably little more than an average laptop touchpad) and USB connection are great because now I can keep the drive in a little cupboard next to where I work so can quickly and without fuss hook it up to the computer whenever I need it, and then disconnect it and put it away just as quickly. Not having to plug it into the mains like my old external hard drives is definitely a plus. Copying couldnt be easier either as it works straight out of the box (bar formatting it to NTFS, which is seconds with the Windows Quick Format command) and is drag and drop. Straight out of the box means theres no drivers to install (certainly not on Windows 10 as I use). As such, its a case of plug it in and then within seconds its ready to use (and you cant get quicker than that!). The only downside (which isnt really a downside, but merely common sense when using a mechanical drive) is that it probably shouldnt be moved while copying. Saying that, I have had to move mine a couple of times, but have done so with utmost care and it seems to be okay. Regarding storage, its plentiful to say the least. I have thousands of samples of varying lengths and qualities (of which a total I couldnt possible guess at, but it has to be well over 100,000, and probably considerably more -- probably a good few 100,000) but theyve all gone onto the drive, as well as plenty of associated files, software back ups and all the music Ive created. And according to the drive, I havent even reached 2TB, so with 4TB capacity theres more than enough left over for any amount of adding to. 2TB is massive storage, and 4TB doubles it, so itll take some filling unless one really crams it with massive files. I cant comment on reliability as Ive only recently bought the drive, but Toshiba is usually fairly reliable and seems to have a good name for itself. Im sure itll last. Saying that, the drive is used on a near daily basis and works perfectly every time. Please be aware that no matter what capacity a drive is, when plugged into Windows the operating system invariably shows it as having less capacity than advertised, which seems to be just how Windows measures capacity compared to the manufacturer. It isnt indicative of a faulty drive or false advertising, and seems to be the same with any drive plugged into Windows. Please note too that no software comes with the drive, and that the instructions are in .pdf format on the drive itself. Also, as with most connected storage devices, its highly recommended that instead of just plugging them out when finished, Windows Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media feature is used instead to save data being corrupted if the drive is still being written too. This can normally be found in the taskbar beside the notification area. There may be a small delay until Windows indicates its safe to remove the drive, but its usually not too long. This drive follows that convention too. So, an all round excellent purchase which Im delighted with, and at a good price too. Theres simply nothing negative I can say about this drive, and can safely say from my own experiences with it that its entirely positive. As such, due to its many advantages I highly recommend it.

Esta bien y es Pequeño y muy portable.Lo malo trae 3.62tb de capacidad real no es 4tb. Es rapido mas bien y copia bien.Tiempo dira pero parece buena inversion.Ya veremos si cambio el review este.

Le câble fourni avec le disque dur mesure entre 40 et 50cm. Note : la capacité annoncée du DD est de 2To. Comme les autres industriels, Toshiba prend la convention 1To = 1000Go, 1Go = 1000Mo, 1Mo = 1000 Ko et 1Ko = 1000 o pour obtenir ce résultat. Si on prend la convention 1To = 1024Go, 1Go = 1024Mo, 1Mo = 1024 Ko et 1Ko = 1024 o (qui est la convention usuelle en informatique, et qui est celle utilisée par Windows 10 quand il vous donne la taille dun ensemble de fichiers), alors la capacité du DD est de 1.81 To (ce qui correspond à 2 * (1000 / 1024)^4). Dans la suite je mexprime en prenant la convention 1To = 1024Go, 1Go = 1024Mo, 1Mo = 1024 Ko et 1Ko = 1024 o. Jai testé le transfert de fichier par copier-coller vers et depuis le disque dur Toshiba en utilisant toujours un même ensemble de fichiers totalisant 52 Go. Dans certains cas jai fait plusieurs essais, doù les mesures de temps multiples. Aucune autre tâche nétait en cours pendant les tests. Test avec un Dell Precision M4700 branché sur secteur muni dun disque dur interne SSD, fonctionnant sous Windows 10 : - Branchement sur une prise USB-3 (alimentée ou non-alimentée, je nai pas trouvé de différence) : -- transfert du DD de lordi au DD Toshiba : 11min05, 9min00, 10min23 (vitesse moyenne entre 80 et 99Mo/s, vitesse max atteignant envrion 150 Mo/s) -- transfert du DD Toshiba au DD de lordi : 10min02, 10min00 (vitesse moyenne de 89 Mo/s, vitesse max atteingnant environ 150Mo/s) - Branchement sur une prise USB-2 non-alimentée : -- transfert du DD de lordi au DD Toshiba : 45min (vitesse moyenne 20 Mo/s, vitesse max atteignant 22 Mo/s) -- transfert du DD Toshiba au DD de lordi : 33min08 (vitesse moyenne 27 Mo/s, vitesse max atteignant 32 Mo/s) Test avec un Dell Latitude E6400 branché sur secteur muni dun disque dur interne HDD, fonctionnant sous Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : - Branchement sur une prise USB-2 non-alimentée (seul type de prise sur cet ordi) : -- transfert du DD de lordi au DD Toshiba : non-testé -- transfert du DD Toshiba au DD de lordi : 28min26 (vitesse moyenne 31Mo/s) En résumé : pour les 2 ordis et quelque soit le sens du transfert, la vitesse moyenne de transfert allait de 20 à 31Mo/s sur un port USB-2 et de 80 et 100 Mo/s sur un port USB-3. Note : jai remarqué lors des transferts en USB-3 que la vitesse instantanée semblait beaucoup dépendre de la taille des fichiers : pour les gros fichiers (tels que les fichiers vidéos) la vitesse était plutôt autour de 150 Mo/s alors que pour les petits fichiers elle était bien moindre. En tous cas, lannonce indiquait une vitesse de transfert pouvant atteindre 5Go/s ; je ne sais pas sil y a des conditions bien particulières à réunir pour obtenir cette vitesse, mais dans mon cas jen étais très le loin. La meilleure vitesse instantanée que jai réussit à avoir était de lordre de 150Mo/s, cest-à-dire plus de 30 fois moins. A noter que cest le premier disque dur que jachète, et du coup je ne sais pas si cette grosse différence entre la vitesse annoncée et la vitesse réelle est habituelle. Cest pour ça que je suis indulgente sur la note bien que la vitesse me déçoive. Dernière remarque pour terminer, je suis un peu dégoûtée car javais repéré ce disque dur quand il était à 59.99€, puis il est passé à 64.99€ au moment où je lai acheté et il est revenu à 59.99€ le jour daprès :-p Pas de bol.

Rápido, capiente è proprio quello che stavo cercando per fare il backup del mio Mac. Il prezzo è molto competitivo rispetto ad altri modelli e la marca è affidabile

Facile da utilizzare,compatto e pratico da portare in giro .

A voir dans le temps mais pour le moment bon disque dur. Cable fourni.
