Toshiba has customised the Canvio Gaming firmware with an Always-On mode designed to keep the drive ready for your next gaming session. You plug it into the USB port of a console or computer, power comes through the same cable, and no separate adapter is needed. The dark grey metallic finish sits discreetly on a shelf next to an Xbox or PlayStation.
Players with several big titles installed whose console storage has run out; households where several people share one console and each has their own favourites; and PC gamers who want to keep games and saves separate from the system drive. 2 TB leaves headroom for upcoming releases too.

Yes. It supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 and comes preformatted with exFAT, so on a computer you can also use it for photos, videos and backups.
