Review: Fast, Reliable, and Compact — Great Storage Solution! 💾💚 - Fast, Reliable, and Compact — Great Storage Solution! 💾💚 I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 2TB external hard drive, and it’s been working perfectly! The setup was super easy — just plug it in and it’s ready to go. The transfer speed is fast with USB 3.0, and it handles large files without any lag. I use it for backing up photos, videos, and work files, and it’s been reliable every time. It’s lightweight and compact, so it’s easy to carry when traveling. The green color is also a nice touch — bright and easy to spot in my bag. Overall, it’s a great combination of performance, portability, and style. Definitely recommend if you need extra storage or backups! 💾✨
Review: Great Storage, Easy to Use - I bought the Toshiba Canvio Advance 4TB to store my growing collection of photos, videos, and work files. It’s been really reliable so far—fast transfers with USB 3.0, and plenty of space to keep everything organized without worrying about running out. I like that it’s compact and easy to carry around, which is perfect for when I need to take my files on the go. The plug-and-play setup was straightforward, so I didn’t have to fuss with any complicated installations. The only slight downside is that it uses a USB-A connection, so if you have newer devices with USB-C, you might need an adapter. But overall, it’s a solid external drive at a good price, and I’m happy with my purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I’m trying to connect a tv antenna but my tv has no coax connection on the back .  Can I use this to replace the coax and how do I do  it?**
A: The 3 penny solution provided above works, but will only pull in stations within 25 miles of your home. I tried dimes once and it did increase my reception , but only be another 10 miles or so. Your best bet, if you are 30 or more miles from a station is coax pairs (pairing is important) one in and one out of a DC to optical TOS coax migrator (rack mounted versions are available) after re-installing Windows. Once that's all set fire up this 2TB storage miniature monster and you'll be getting gazillions of out of state CNN and FOX local news channels, not to mention all the stuff I wont mention cause it's too much typing. With all that set up I would be surprised if you didn't pull in the FCC. All at USB 3 speed! Do yourself a favor and don't monkey around with the penny setup unless or until you've been certified. But if you do go with making your own with cents, it's best to wear a mask to avoid any potential exposure to airborne zincoids discharging from the middle one. Either way it's 5 of one, half a dozen with one missing of the other.

**Q: How do you make this work on the PS4 ?? It is telling us “device not supported”**
A: Before it can be used as an external storage, when you first plug your drive into the USB port, on screen a question appears asking if you want to reformat your drive. Answer "Yes". And  just about a minute it will be ready to use as an external storage drive.

**Q: Is this ssd or hhd?**
A: It is traditional spinning disk HDD

**Q: Besides backing up, can I also add separate folder into Canvio that keeps some documents/videos which are not on hard drive and access them easily?**
A: Yes. Think of it as a oversized flash drive. It can be used the same way

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality drive, very compact and reliable.
*by D***N on November 19, 2025*

I have several of these as I keep clone drives of all my backups. The transfer speed is really good but it depends on your port speed. Had no connection issues to Win 10 or 11, nice size perfect for transporting.
