Toshiba StorE Canvio Alu 2.5 1TB always switches off

Hello,
I've got a Toshiba StorE Canvio Alu 2.5 1TB external HDTH310ES3AA (USB 3.0) 1 TB on a Windows 7 system, Mainboard: AsRock H81M-HDS. I installed all new USB controller drivers I could find, but I always have one problem: The Toshiba HDD does not work properly on this system (but well on Windows XP - but without USB 3.0):
While transferring data to the hd, it always "switches off" - already after a few seconds.
It doesn't matter if connected to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, always got the same problem.
Could somebody please help?
Thanks!
Best wishes
Andy

Hi
The HDD seems to work properly in connection with Win XP system, therefore I think that there is nothing wrong with your HDD but it looks like the computers USB controller / ports could cause the issue.
The HDD supports USB 3.0 as well as the USB 2.0 standard.
But USB 3.0 port provides max. 900mA and I guess 900mA are necessary to get the HDD working properly.
Question: does this HDD work properly in connection with another computer / notebook running Win 7 or Win 8 OS?

Toshiba STORE E alu external hard drive.

Hi
I have a Toshiba laptop P500-16T.
Yesterday I bought a Toshiba external hard drive (STORE E alu 750 GB USB 3.5"), it is working perfectly but today the blue/red LED indicator is not working anymore, the hard drive is still functioning normally though.

Try it in another PC or another USB Port, if the LED still doesn't work then you can return the drive to the place of purchase for a replacement.

Always switch off Photo Stream automatically

I need to switch it on many time.
I'm using iPhoto '11, Chinese version

I'm not entirely sure I understand your question but am going to give it a go. It sounds as if you're trying to watch one thing streamed from your computer to your ATV while someone else tries to use the same iTunes to watch something different on the computer at the same time. That's not going to work. You may be able to both watch the same thing though I admit I haven't tried.
Additionally, if I recall correctly, iTunes will use whatever Airplay settings were last selected until you change them.

Always shut off Bluetooth In Preferences when stowing your wireless keyboard

I spent the entire morning taking notes at a conference today and switched off my iPad at lunch and stowed it in my messenger bag. I took care to place the keyboard between several large newspapers.. When we returned I pulled out my iPad and heard music. The BT keyboard had turned the iPad on and phantom keystrokes had deleted my entire notes document. I know of no way to retrieve my Notes. I had switched off WiFi because I was constantly getting notifications of networks that I couldn't join so my iPad hadn't emailed me the document. From now on I will always switch off BT before putting it away and suggest you all do it as well.

You do that.
Thanks for sharing.

Toshiba Store.e Canvio 1TB not showing up on Macbook Pro Retina

Hello,
I'm having trouble with my external hard rive, it's a Toshiba Store.e Canvio 1TB, HDTC610EW3B1.
It has been working fine on my old Macbook running Mavericks but now on my new one, a retina Macbook Pro running on Yosemite, it won't show up anywhere.
I have checked with disk utility and it's not showing up, also not showing up on the USB in system preferences.
As I said, it works fine on Mavericks
Any ideas on what's happening here, please?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't have either of them to try.
I have spent two hours with Apple technicians and so far nothing we've tried has worked. I now have to speak to a senior Apple technician and see what they say.
A WD My Passport works well but this Toshiba won't work on Macbook Pro Retina with Yosemite...a bit annoying

Hi,
I've just bought a Toshiba Stor.e basics 1TB and it's extremely slow, it's taken around a day and still 2 are pending to conclude a copy of less than 100 gigas, 3days!!!
I've tried formating it with FAT32 and MacOs Plus, same results, what's wrong with this product?

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

Toshiba STOR.E Basics 1TB - extremely slow

Hi,
I've recently bought this Toshiba STOR.E Basics 1TB USB 3.0 HDTB110EK3BA and it's extremely slow, taking already around 48h for copying less than 100Gb.
I'm formating it Mac Os Plus and using a Mac Book Pro with USB3
Why is that happening?
Thanks
BR/ Javi

Why the data transfer is slow?
Who knows there are many reasons for that you will need to check some few things to get an answer for that
Fact is that this HDD support the USB 3.0 standard.
This means that this HDD operates with USB 3.0 performance (~ 130MB/s)
Fact is that the USB 3.0 HDD needs more power than the common USB 2.0 HDDs.
The USB 3.0 needs 900mA, the USB 2.0 HDD needs 500mA
Therefore its recommended to connect such HDD to two USB 2.0 ports using Y USB cable.
At the other hand the data transmission speed might be limited to the notebook (chipset).
Maybe your internal HDD does not provide more performance to transmit the data to the external HDD.
I read some test about this HDD and many users got the great performance.
Using USB 2.0 ports: 31,8 MB/s write ; 31,5 MB/s read
using USB 3.0 ports : 105,45 MB/s write ; 108,89 MB/s read
I recommend you to install some Disk Benchmark tools like ATTO to check the performance using other computer.

Toshiba Stor.E tv 1TB PA4209E-1HJ0 SYSTEM FIRMWARE UPGRADE?

Hey
I just purchased a toshiba stor.E tv 1tb multimedia player but it doesn't support mkv video formats & others like rmvb
Is there any system firmware upgrade that i can flash into the bios?
If so pls provide me with the link to it ?
Note : i did not find it on the support page
But i have read that the Stor.E tv 2TB's support the video file formats i'm looking for.
Would it be possible to use the same firmware bios on the 1Tb ?
thanks & regards

hey there,
i just purchased the same hdd. my problem is: after some trys to make it compatible to my mac (i created two partitions - one fat32 and the other in mac-format) it didnt work any longer. i mean i dont have access to the data when i connect it to my tv. even after turning it back to the former status (one fat partition) its the same. i can see the screen, when i turn it on, but i dont have a menu to choose any file. setup is working as well...
so obviously its not possible to get any firmware or other support. does anyone have a solution? maybe a soft-/firmware i can use???
thanks,
stefan

Hi,
I have just come across the same problem w?th the 320GB STORE ALU External Drive, that we bought 8 months ago, but just today came to use it to free up space on laptop.
Followed Quick Start Guide- Start was ok w?th E icon appearing, and transferred folders showing on new HDD.
But shut down to cool off in hot weather.
Now go back and reattach and the request pops up to Format!
Cannot format as data on it. Tried on other netbook - same request to format.!
But I transferred data to free up Laptop so as to be able to backup off new HDD!
In FAQ- it categorically states that Formating is not required as done in Factory. So what is happening here??
More to the point- can I recover my data?
( did not register etc)
Thanks

Can TOSHIBA STOR.E BASICS 2.5'' be used in mac?

I bought TOSHIBA STOR.E BASICS 2.5'' because I read that, although prepared for windows, it could be adapted to be used on mac. HOW?

Thank you so much for this post, I have followed these steps to reformat my new 1TB Toshiba Stor.e Basics as well as the instructions in the link http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html and have received the following error message:

Toshiba Stor.e Partner - Can't find Nero serial number

Hi,
I'm trying to install my new Toshiba Stor.e Partner 1TB on my Windows Vista computer and during the installation, it's asking me for a serial number to validate Nero BackItUp 12 Essentials.
I assumed this would be the serial number on the bottom of the HDD and the packaging but that doesn't work. It's not on any of the leaflets that came with it and can't find any info on the user's guide.
Anyone know what I'm missing here?
Thanks

As I understood your message, you found the serial number but it does not match with your software. Right?
Are you sure you typed the number correctly?
Maybe you mistyped the number or mixed some numbers like 0 and o or i and l
Check it again.
You can also upgrade the Nero software to the latest version
How? Check these links:

Toshiba StorE Art 2Tb External Hard Drive not recognized by HP Elite /Win7

I have a new HP Elite Desktop running Windows 7 Home Edition:
I bought some few months ago a Toshiba Store Art 2Tb Ext Hard drive, which until today worked well. Today I started the PC in the morning (with no update of Windows or other software) to find it would no longer recognize the Toshiba Hard drive. It still recognizes the WD drives, and the SimpleTech drives when they are plugged in. All External Drives are powered separately and do not rely on USB power.
I tried the Store Art on other PC's and it works fine. I tried switching the cables, and the cable works on other drives, (and other cables will not make this Store Art work). I tried several USB 2 ports on the PC, with no luck *(but all ports work with the other drives).
I tries COMPUTER, MANAGE, and checked Drvivers and Disks. There was no sign of the Disk available (no malfunctioning disk), it was just not there at all.
I searched the web - tried a range of techniques (unplugging PC from power) and more. No luck.
The PC Specifications are:
Operating System
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i3 530 @ 2.93GHz 30 C
Clarkdale 32nm Technology
RAM
3.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI 2A9Ch (CPU 1) 38 C
Graphics
HP L1906 (1280x1024@60Hz)
ATI Radeon HD 5450
Hard Drives
488GB Seagate ST3500418AS (SATA) 31 C
Optical Drives
WD Virtual CD 1110 USB Device
hp DVD-RAM GH60L
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio
Works well with all other drives. and it worked with Toshiba till this morning.
Any clues?
thanks

Well - this is incredible. After leaving the Ext Store Art Drive turned off all day ( but the PC was left on) | cam home ready to try the advice of Keaney (thanks for your advice) which was the same as the techies at work: Try to roll back to OS to last good restore point - eg a week ago. Just before I did anything like that - I just flipped it on to see if a miracle occurred. Guess what. It fired up, was recognised, and all is working.
This is amazing - since my original posting: the PC has not been restarted, not been turned off, not been updated with new OS updates, has not had anything except normal web usage. Similarly the Store Art Ext HDD has been left off for the day, and just turned on tonight - not change plugs or cables or USB or anything. No cables have been touched or plugs jiggled. It just works.
Its like there is a gremlin there - teasing me, testing me, causing me havoc - and laughing all the way. I have no idea how this happened - but will monitor to see if it happens again.
thanks for the suggestions to resolve - for now I will do nothing.

Toshiba stor.e tv+ WIFI settings not working

Hi there!
Ive recently bought a Toshiba stor.e tv+ and when trying to connect the drive to the router via wifi it just doesnt work.
I connect to my wifi network, I give the WPA password, I choose DHCP, and when accepting, it takes a looong time until it reverts back to the first screen.
As well Ive noticed that when selecting the Network mode, below "Wireless setup" It says "On*: DHCP Not ready!"
Has anybody faced anything like this before?
Ive connected the HD to the router via network cable and its fine.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I found an firmware update on the Toshiba European driver page for Stor.E TV+
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
choose: Options -> Drive devices -> Multimedia HDDs -> 3.5 StorE TV+
Now you should be able to download the latest firmware.
After that try to configure the Wlan once again!

Toshiba StorE Basics 750GB - Partition Issues

Hello,
I'm hoping you can help me or point me in the right direction.
i purchased this Toshiba StorE Basics 750GB v63700-b part number: hdtb107ek3aa a few days ago.
When I connected it to my USB port it came up as it should after Windows & installed the required drivers.
I then copied over 200gb of information to it.
All was working fine.
My daughter then took it and connected it to her iMac and she said yes when Timje machine asked if it was ok to initialize the drive. Well she realized her mistake about 10 sec into that process.
So here is the question. Time machine wrote a new partition table to the drive, ergo no more Fat or backup fat.
I'm trying to find out what was the preinstalled partition configuration of the drive when it is first connected. This way I can at least correct the partition table entries, type, size and so on. This will allow me to then use recovery software to get the files.
I hope that you know where I can find that information.
Regards,
Elan

You are talking about this external HDD. Right?
http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-products/hdtb107ek3aa/
HmmI guess it could be NTFS file format.
But Im not quite sure if you will be able to rescue the data after file format change.

Pls make me know what I have to do that it asks me for a password when opening the disk or when opening the stored files.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mate
As far as I know the Toshiab STOR.E ART 3, 2.5" includes pre-loaded NTI BackupNow EZ Software.
http://www.nticorp.com/en/us/product/backup_now_ez.asp
This software helps you to secure and backup the data. It provides a complete System and File & Folder backups.
It seems that only the backup can be secured with password protection and data encryption (up to 256-bit).
