Still using this drive and has been reliable and a great buy from Amazon. Recently after receiving a VIP code for a PlayStation 5 I sold my PlayStation 4 and now on the latest gen. I hooked everything up the same but this time you want to plug the Toshiba hard drive to the back of the PlayStation 5 as it has x2 USB 3.0 ports. I’ve copied some games to it and it’s still been fine and have been running PlayStation 4 games on it such as Wolfenstein Alt Collection, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 & 2, Serious Sam etc and has worked flawlessly.
This drive will also store your PlayStation 5 games on it but won’t be able to run them as it’s not a SSD so not compatible for that but for storage and being able to run those PlayStation 4 Disc and Digital games it’s still a top gem.
At the end of the day it’s an external hard drive and like any other 3.0 with a usb they will work for Playstation or Xbox. If they have their own format tool which they do you won’t have any problems. The first thing that comes up once you’ve connected it and powered on the console a message saying “Not Compatable”. Well it actually is it’s just that it’s not formatted and more like it’s been pre formatted to NTFS which is what windows use. Once you have formatted it, it takes literally seconds that’s it.
Once you go to your system settings scroll down to Devices, USB Storage Devices, External USB 3.0 Toshiba. There it will ask you to format to an extended storage.
Please note, once you have done this the preferred drive will be the external one, I’d suggest to use the internal hard drive for main storage as it will be more cooled from the fan inside the console.
If you have say The Last Of Us which is about 50GB move that over to the external drive as there isn’t anymore updates for that game now. While on the subject keep games like Red Dead Redemption 2 on the main drive I only say as with new games your going to get a lot of updates like still Grand Theft Auto 5 and running the external drive constantly with the updates ploughing at it every day or so wouldn’t be good for it.
I haven’t tried any of the games running off it yet but from what I read online they run faster apparently.
I would recommend a 4TB hard drive as after the format with the systems own volume putting its own data on your left with about 3.5TB

I have tried to get product support but nobody is able to help! The latest is that I have been given a number for product support when actually it goes through to Tina Webb's voicemail. The support guy said that that is the number that he has been using. WILD GOOSE CHASE!!!
I am gutted that I have lost my money for a device that doesn't work and also all of my files including my photos of my new born baby.
DO NOT BUY
Basically I bought a new LG 2018 4K Smart TV and needed the option to record. (I'm relying a lot on the built in tuner etc rather than a dedicated box.) This item came with some good reviews.
Have tried and tested (just plugged and played into USB port 1) No formatting needed. If your smart TV has the feature of being able to record then an HDD like this should be perfectly suitable for you. Once recorded you can have option to pause/rewind. Very nice and essentially completes the setup for me (I am trying to avoid bulky set top boxes)
This item is also much smaller than I thought. Am currently looking at a way to secure it to the back of the television (similar to an HDD bracket for PC) Would be much tidier this way.
I believe it also works fine for Samsung TV's. So expect it will work for all brands (AS long as your TV supports recording (many don't))
I hope I can tip the balance against these cheap knockoffs. Amazon should not sell these re-cons as new.
The firmware is AWFUL, the power-handling TERRIBLE and reliability is intermittent. Transfer is slooow.
TRY writing more than 900GB, you WILL lose it ALL! Forget about defragging, it fails every time.
As does formatting.
I'm sorry, I liked Toshiba Video Recorders buth their HDDs have always been terrible.
CHEAP FOR A REASON. Pay more for a decent Western Digital Ultra. They last and go the distance at a good pace.
Returned, with comments, I lost over a Gig of data and it RUINED Christmas (bought as a gift) for my Wife!
I wish I hadn't! It has corrupted and become unreadable after only 2 months. Luckily it was 'only' a backup.
