Cavio external HD Basics - need special cable?

Hello

I just got a brand-new Basics Canvio 500 GB, and, despite I have read on many questions about the USB connection and stability, I'll just say that after a few days, I meet no particular problem, but I have a question.

I tried borrowed drive, next to the help of the supplied cable with it, also with:

-A standard 'A to Micro-B' cable Superspeed
-One standard USB 2.0 Type a microphone cable

It's because I keep the same cable connected to my PC (which has currently only USB 2.1 connections) and use it to different USB devices.

Now, the Toshiba drive is having problems with both of them (intermittent loss of connection, slow/jerkyness data transfer and so forth).
A Western Digital external hard drive works perfectly with the two cables mentioned above, next to his own.

So, the question is, the Canvio Basics needs special cables to work properly and, if so, if I need a replacement, where can I find a cable that is certified to work correctly with him or is totally compatible anyway?

Thank you very much in advance,
Mario

The answer found myself... After about a month the HD's * very * slowly.

Keep the CAP pulled upwards or downwards made increases responsiveness and many disk, but of course this is not an option... so, I guess I've fallen in the infamous master default known HD, different cables, I tried data transfer are not guilty.

Very sad... it is a product with very evil genius, apparently. About 70 euros ready for the trash. I really feel scammed.

Not here anymore Toshibas, WD here I come...

    A router is a device that connects computers (or other type of computer
    devices) to each other on a network and you can send files
    from one computer to the other. It does not connect to the internet, and
    you need a device called a modem vaguely to do this. The modem also
    connects to the router and allows the computers on the network
    (those connected to the router) to connect to the internet.

    However, note that there are some available devices that are
    router-modem combination. If your router is of this type, you do not have
    need a modem.

  • Satellite M30X: Can't watch movies on external LCD screen via a cable VGA - black screen?

    Hello.

    I have toshiba laptop M30X satellite and I difficutlties about the link between the laptop and lcd tv 32 S 3000.

    1. first of all, I tried with the s-Video cable: I see what is on the screen of the computer laptop on the TV screen, but much worse than plugging in the VGA cable, in terms of sharpness and resolution. I did this by setting the LCD display in the menu windows.

    2. when I use the VGA cable, I don't see it on the TV screen, what is on the screen of the laptop.
    I might need to upgrade the drivers for the ATI radeon 9600/9700 series factory installed on the laptop?

    BUT the biggest problem arises when I want to see on lcd display media player file formats: mpeg, avi, etc.

    What's happening: on the screen of the laptop, I have the image of the film, and on the LCD TV screen I have BLACK SCREEN (even the media player toolbars are still visible)
    If anyone has an ideea, I appreciate it.

    Thank you for your time.

    > 2. When I use the VGA cable, I don't see it on the TV screen, what is on the screen of the laptop.
    > I might need to upgrade the drivers for the ATI radeon 9600/9700 series factory installed on the laptop?
    This has nothing to do with the display driver, but with the connection.
    The VGA port should be used to connect the external TFT and not the TV monitor
    But have you used the option of FN + F5 to switch between screens devices?

    > On the screen of the laptop, I have the image of the film, and on the LCD TV screen I have BLACK SCREEN (even the media player toolbars are still visible)
    To my knowledge, you must first switch the display on the external monitor and then you should start the film actor.

    This support is available?   Or hard drives for this laptop specially designed with an unusual sata connector?

    (Specifications for that mobile say the original hard drive is SATA 1.5 speed.)

    I don't have the original hard drive or the media.
    I would use a regular laptop sata drive with this computer.

  • only an ethernet plug in my router but need two cables!

    I have a wireless router with only a single ethernet cable plug, but I need to connect a second cable ethernet to a second computer in my house! what I have to buy that this is possible?

    Hello

    You can check with the local store of Tech for a network splitter that will allow you to connect multiple cables to the router, but it is not recommended because the speed of the network will decrease because the data will be shared.

    You can also try to buy a router with multiple ports.

    For more details on routers, you can contact the manufacturer of routers.
