Description

Your whole game library on one drive

Four terabytes mean you no longer have to choose which game stays on the console and which one goes. Toshiba says the drive holds up to 100 games, so new releases and old favourites can live side by side. Despite the larger capacity the housing stays compact: at 19.5 mm thick and 212 grams, it sits easily next to the console or in a backpack.

Who this external hard drive is for

Players with a large digital library who do not want to download games again and again; households where several people share one console; and PC gamers who keep gameplay recordings and screenshots alongside their games. 4 TB is the top capacity in this series.
