    Storage Solutions Help me identify my laptop's SSD

    I added a ssd in my son-in-law's HP laptop a few months back. I got tremendous amount of support from the HP support community to identify and choose the correct ssd. I bought and installed the WD SN570 and it works fine. I suggest that you too should check on that community.

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    I opened them on the Mac directly from the Toshiba drive and they worked fine. One pdf, one docx and a few jpgs. I will now need to buy myself a new external HDD so that I can copy the contents of the Toshiba and then reformat the Toshiba and use it as a backup. Then I'll have another backup on...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    Good news for me. I pulled out my Mac mini and switched it ON. Connected the Toshiba and all the data was there on it. Read only though. At least the data is all there.

    MS is offering this @ Rs 6000/- and I see FK is offering the same thing @ Rs 2400/-. How come? Is it safe? Moreover, FK seller says lifetime account. Does it mean I don't have to renew annually like with MS? The IT Depot and Amazon too have attractive pricing. What happens when one has to renew...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    Thanks Before my Toshiba 'crashed', I had been worried about deleting those folders from my primary Seagate drive. I had run Recuva and recovered most of the data and saved it on my secondary WD drive. I am reaching the conclusion that my most important data has been recovered from the original...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    My Easus partition recovery full scan is nearing completion. Will this free home edition allow me to perform recovery too or will I have to buy the pro version? Any suggestions for a cheap cloud storage service? Archive needed. Sync is desirable but not essential.

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    Nope. I had seen my data on the external drive after transfer so the data was copied. Did not try other cables. This appears to be a proprietary cable. I don't have another. I did not try the back usb ports but I tried connecting to my office laptop and it is the same. My Easus Partition Master...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    I'll try them. Are they free? I tried running chkdsk but it failed to complete. Did not even reach the stage of giving .chk files. I agree. In hindsight, I should have done that but the drive is fairly new as opposed to the internal drives so that probably made me over-confident about the...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    My Symantec Endpoint protection is blocking the Autorun file when I plug in the Toshiba drive. The Symantec software was installed by my company systems guys while I was using it for company work earlier when I started WFH before they issued me a laptop. Our company policy is to prevent writing...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    In the case of the Toshiba Canvio, the external connector is directly on the drive and there is no SATA connector A bit off topic but can anyone recommend me the cheapest cloud storage of 1TB annual or lifetime plans? This is mainly for archival rather than sync backup.

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    I use the company laptop the whole day. I don't get much time to use my personal computer. The 'one copy' was meant to be temporary. I was copying data from the primary data source to the external drive is stages over a period of a month. I deleted after copying because I wouldn't be able to...

    Storage Solutions 1TB Toshiba external drive suddenly crashed

    My Toshiba 1 TB drive suddenly crashed yesterday while I was saving files. It was perfectly fine until then. The data is very important to me because I had backed up all my important data from my internal drives and deleted the originals because I am retiring that Windows machine and moving to...
