No. The Newegg sale price for them should be a dead giveaway that they're not SSD drives.

One major negative with these Toshiba Canvio Basic drives is the 1 year warranty. WD and Seagate portable drives typically have 2 or 3 year warranties.

If one is shopping purely on a per TB price then Costco Seagate 5TB portable drive is slightly better at $18 per TB compared to this Toshiba 4TB portable drive at $20 per TB.

I bought one of these a few years ago for storage on my Raspberry Pi media center and it's been steady as a rock. Not the fastest but it's a platter drive so that figures.

I didn't think a Pi would power this. That's pretty cool.

Not quite the same price per TB. The Costco Seagate 5TB portable for $89.99 is $2 cheaper per TB than the Newegg 4TB Toshiba portable is at $79.99.

Seagate $18 per TB, Toshiba $20 per TB.

Note that the Costco Seagate deal is only good through 4/4/21.

So, odd question: would these be faster than a WD My book 12tb? I have one of these and MAN is it slow...

Yup they work on a ps5 but currently only last gen and older games are allowed to save and read from the external storage.

If the BB deal is still going for the WD 5TB @ $95 I would go with that instead of the Seagate drive. I have three WD portables (2 1TB, 1 2TB) and also have a 4 TB Seagate and even though I have the WD drives longer the Seagate drive is already dying on me (hoping that it's still under warranty). So far all the drives I have that have died on me are Seagates and Samsungs. My WDs are still working - even my 40GB drive. Yes, my experience is anecdotal but I've been working with computers since the early 90's (used to work for a PC clone company that assembles PCs) and Seagate has been the worst among today's existing manufacturer.
