Can this be connected to a Toshiba laptop using a USB cord or is it strictly for internal setup only?

You can use a Sabrent USB 2.0 to SATA hard drive adapter to connect it or similar.

It is an internal hard drive. There are products that will allow you to connect a sata drive to a computer via usb, but you'd probably just be better off buying an external drive.

Basically this is an internal HDD, but if you want to use it externally, you can use a USB to SATA adapter. you can check this link:StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - Hard Drive Adapter CableHope this can help.

The bottom line is that this drive, and probably every SATA drive on the market, is designed for internal setup as the 'C' drive. I have installed a SATA drive as a secondary drive in a desktop with cabling for more than a single drive.

This can be connected and mounted externally with the right equipment. You would either need a USB drive bay enclosure to install this internal drive in, or you can use a device for mounting it externally like a drive dock SATA/PATA/IDE).

It is an internal laptop hard drive. However it can be connected via USB if you have this device:http://www.sabrent.com/category/hard-drive-enclosures/USB-DSC5/I fhave found this device quite handy as you can connect any IDE or SATA drive to a computer via USB.

Yes, just use the standard usb cable to connect to a laptop or to an external battery.

Not by itself. This is an internal drive made to be installed inside a desktop. You can get versions that are usb2 connected for similar amounts, and they will do just what you want, and can connect to any computer without any installation or need to open the computer. See for example: External USB DVD/CD This will work fine for you as long as you have usb2 ports and nearly every computer does.

It comes with a USB cable so you can connect it directly to your laptop. So far, that's the only cable I needed.

You won't need a usb cord if your laptop has a sd card reader. If not then you will need the usb cord.

I use mine with a toshiba satellite laptop with Windows 8 and it works perfectly.

I never tried it, but I would say that the Toshiba Canvio 500 functions with any computer which has an USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port.

I don't know. I use mine with a Seagate external HD. I bought the cable as a spare for the unusual USB connector on the HD end. If your Toshiba HD has that kind of USB connector, I imagine it should work. Please realize that this is not a typical USB cable. This is a special cable with an unusual connector at one end.

Yes this cooling stand will and should be fully functional for your Toshiba. Your USB port merely operates as a power supply for the cooling fan. It is not a device that will be recognized as a external device.

I do not know about a Toshiba but I have a dell and a HP and it will not work on them and the add said it will work on all.

Sorry I do not know specifically, but you could go to the Toshiba web site & that could point you in the correct direction

The previous answers have already covered the specific question, however I would add that depending on your laptop model, you should have an available USB 3.0 port on the side or back of it that is accessible when docked. Less convenient than permanently connecting the externals to the dock, but does work (that's what I do).

My guess is the answer should be in the instruction manual. I never had my base connected. You could also try calling toshiba

no, it is only connected through USB to your computer and your computer must be on for you to use it.

The instruction manual says nothing about connecting via USB, only wirelessly. BTW,if you plan to use this KB on your lap, be advised it doesn't latch open; sit it on your lap, and it tends to fold back up. I can't recommend it.

The "unusual" connector at one end is not at all unusual. It was specifically designed to be used on those devices which meet the requirements of USB 3.0. If the Toshiba external drive has a matching female connector, then it is a USB 3.0 device and this cable will work -- in fact you will need one like this. If the female connector is like the one we've been used to then it is a USB 2.0 device and this cable will not work with it. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the late response, but don't know if it can work that way. I had a lot of driver conflicts and ended up using a different method. I gave it to a friend that had a toshiba laptop and it seemed to work fine for him.
