Hey Melissa I know you can connect hard drives and flash drives but I'm not sure if it'll take a 3TB. It wouldn't hurt to take it to your nearest best buy or electronics center and ask to try it on theirs. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

You should be able to use a USB 2.0 cable to connect your hard drive to your computer. USB 3.0 is compatible with 2.0. You'll just get 2.0 speeds.

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

I have purchased several of these devices, but have not opened any. Dont know if its worth the risk. Purchased a Tripe Mate Elite by HooToo, which is a wireless router that lets you connect an external hard drive (>1TB), do pass thrus, etc. Check this device in Amazon and read reviews. Cost was pretty minimal ±$40. Then you can have several HD's and used the one you want. Need to check the movie whether MP4, or what, has some limitations.

I believe a Western Digital drive would work fine. I bought 2 of them for myself.

Sorry...I don't have a TV. I use my computer to download all my cable video entertainment from the internet and watch videos on my monitor. However, I'm sure you will need some kind of a portable "multimedia player" installed on the Toshiba hard drive to play audio/video files on a smart TV. I took a look at a LG TV and it had both 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports. So unless the TV has "multimedia player" capability of its own you are going to have to bring in this capability from the Toshiba hard drive. You might want to take a look at DVico's Slim S1 [combo hard drive & multimedia player...] this unit connects usb/hdmi to a TV.

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV.I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

I can't confirm a 2tb drive but I have a 1tb Toshiba canvio portable drive that works. I plug it directly into the smartstick and it get's it's power from the stick. Just load up your movies, music, pics and it will detect it automatically.

I haven't tried that. what exactly are you trying to do? I'm connecting a flash drive to watch movies from it and also access my documents.

Unless your hard drive has some kind of USB 3.0 to the native connection interface this will cable not work. Most newer hard drives have a SATA interface or the case of an external drive, an eSATA interface. You would, at minimum, need an eSATA cable.

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

It should work just fine. Totally backwards compatible. I partitioned mine, my wife and I share 3TB, 2.0 USB for both. Works great! Enjoy!

I don't know. I use a seagate movie player to access my movies. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Actually I can copy something to a disk, but I haven't tried to watch movies on this drive. The only thing is sometimes it just can be recognized by my laptop. And I have to try several times to make it to be recognized.
