Reddit mentions of Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 1 TB Portable Hard Drive (Black)(HDTB210XK3BA)

I own two of these. A white one and black one. Both came with chords in their respective colors. I use one for the Wii, one for Steam. It has worked flawlessly.

You should be able to buy a Samsung 840 Evo and have Geek Squad at Best Buy put it in and install it for you if you're not comfortable with it.

Keep in mind that it's going to be a lot smaller capacity than what is in there now and if you need the space, considering an external drive for extra storage wouldn't be a bad idea.

I would recommend using this OTA DVR between your Cable box and tv (or xbox one) and a USB stick or USB hard drive, Any type of USB storage is needed for the DVR function. (it can hold up to 2TB max per drive)

Once your cable is gone, you can attach an antenna to it and continue to use the DVR with your xbox one for Over the Air channels with the xbox one guide.

Or you can get something like This TV Tuner stick for your PC and connect your Cable box to it and record shows on to your PC.

Love these Toshiba Canvios. Pretty good pricing on them year round. I've had no issues on my 750gb over the past year and I just picked up a 1TB one for my girlfriend.

Cases are hard, especially at your price range. Read the reviews, make sure they can fit your pieces, and make sure the reviews say they have good cooling. I can't really make a recommendation at your price range. You have to decide what you are going to sacrifice to bring it under your budget.

> I currently have this https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-HDTB210XK3BA/dp/B005J7YBRW. is it any good?

I don't know but the reviews look great. It won't go inside your case, but it could be plugged into a USB port. If I was you, I would plug that sucker in a usb port on the back of my case and use it until I can afford a 1TB internal HDD

As I understand the deal with HP/T-Mobile, the deal is only with T-Mobile, so you would be paying AT&T. Not even sure it would work - I might try it and also contact AT&T.

You can download apps from the chrome web store (look for the icon in your "start" menu in the lower left) to use your Chromebook offline, like this one for Gmail. You'll have to download separate apps for each thing you want to be able to do offline, however.

You do NOT want to locally store your files, music & pictures on your Chromebook, as local storage is limited (you have maybe 32GB?). Your Chromebook should come with 100GB of storage on Google Drive, however - you can upload everything on your desktop to Drive, then it will be available when your Chromebook is online. If you don't want your stuff on the cloud, you can buy a portable hard drive for storage.

Also: "a lot."

I bought two of these on Thanksgiving day for $39.99 each.
Works good so far.
Toshiba Canvio 1.0 TB USB 3.0 Basics Portable Hard Drive

Would this work on the Wii u http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005J7YBRW/ref=mp_s_a_1_cc_2?qid=1414018907&sr=1-2-catcorr&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

It's Prime Time!

Im still in time, yay, so an awesome Prime item is this, because it contains a lot of space and you can store a lot of music, videos, pictures, etc.

I saw a lot of recommendations for the Toshiba Canvio 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive back when I was looking to expand my console's storage. $60 for a reliable 1TB hard drive that's also small and light? I was all over it.

Keep in mind that it doesn't have an AC adapter - it draws power directly from the USB line, and the Wii U doesn't supply enough power to one USB line to power the device. You need a USB 3.0 Y-cable (plug this cable directly into the device) or a USB Y-adapter (plug the drive's provided USB cable into this adapter.) Then you'll have two USB plugs leading to the same device. Don't worry, only one line carries data, but both lines carry power. Insert the two plugs into the USB ports in the back of the Wii U and you're golden.

These adapters are only like $5-$8, but get them from Amazon. I spent a week trying to find them anywhere else while I waited for a third-party seller to ship it. Best Buy, Fry's, Radio Shack, Target, Wal-Mart - nobody even knew what I was talking about.

Alternatively, get an external storage device with its own power supply. I don't have a recommendation for that. You could also use a USB flash drive but those aren't designed for constant writing - they will eventually fail.

I have, and I have found this. http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-Drive/dp/B005J7YBRW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1417486029&sr=1-1&keywords=external+hard+drive

However that seems like alot, I have seen them cheaper throughout the year.

I got one of these Toshiba Canvio 1TB drives partitioned into 350gb of OS X storage and 650gb of Windows storage (HFS and NTFS, I think? It's been a while since I set it up) and it works perfectly, I keep almost every game I own installed on there from Win/OS X Steam, Origin, GoG and stuff like Minecraft. The only games I keep installed on my laptop any more are trackpad-friendly games like Binding of Isaac and Civ V.

I've never encountered any loading or speed issues even though the drive is only 5400rpm. It's USB3 so it's (kind of?) futureproof, and the biggest bonus for me is that it doesn't need to be plugged into an external power source. I don't know if all my externals before this one were just from a different era but I'd never seen that before so it was a huge plus for me. It's also tiny, about the size of two stacked iPhone 4's.

The only downside about the drive itself is that it comes with a tiny cable (about 8") that is USB3 (looks like this) so the chances of being able to use it with any random cable that's lying around are pretty low at the moment but I suppose that will change in the future as USB3 cables become more common.

Steam is a little buggy supporting libraries installed over two drives, sometimes I'll log in and have no games installed, all I have to do is remove and re-add my library folder in the preferences and all my games come back no problem though, it's just a minor annoyance (that caused a small heart attack the first time). I probably have to do that about once a week, but this might also be caused by me regularly connecting and reconnecting multiple external drives and confusing the computer.

edit for clarity.

You can afford CoD, MCC, and Sunset Overdrive...but can't afford a $60 external 1 TB harddrive? http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-Drive/dp/B005J7YBRW/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413563478&sr=1-2&keywords=external+hard+drive

Thank you so much!
>Also, the timings on that patriot RAM is total dogshit at 19-19-19-43 at 2666mhz. Like I didn't even know they made DDR4 Ram with that bad of timings.

I didn't know the ram I picked was that bad. D: Time to read about ram timings, until now I only looked at the speed(Mhz) and if it was DDR4.

>EDIT: I didn't touch the case because honestly, I don't know if I can find something comparable in that price range.

Sadly the case is out of stock now :(. So, if you can find a decent case around the $20-30 usd mark I would appreciate it !

>You can always grab a Hard drive later or if you have one in an old pc, just reformat that one and install it.

I currently have this https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-HDTB210XK3BA/dp/B005J7YBRW. is it any good?

EDIT: So I found these ones thermaltake versa h17 and DIYPC Alnitak-BK Black. Not sure which one is better though.

I don't see why not. I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Canvio-Basics-Portable-Drive/dp/B005J7YBRW/ref=pd_cp_pc_0 which is also NTFS formatted and it works fine

or was considering this, although a tad bit more pricey

I use a couple of these since they're usually pretty cheap. One for personal stuff in use for a couple years without any problems, got another to backup my own data at work.

Look out for any portable external hard drives as they can be opened up for 2.5 in hard drives. Also if a 9.5mm fits so will a 9mm and 7mm hard drive.

One like this would work
