I am totally disappointed because neither end plugs into a MacBook Air which only has USB-C connector. You will need either a hub, converted or buy another cable like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZP5BHBF **Q: You know if it works with ps4?** A: Yes, you will need to go to settings in the PS4 under usb devices and reformat the drive to the PS4 and it will work. **Q: Can I plug this into my xbox one and store games on it?** A: Must be formatted to run as a system drive when you plug it in, i use mine for my ps4 ## Frequently Bought Together - Toshiba Canvio Basics 2TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, Black - HDTB520XK3AA - ProCase Hard Drive Case for Canvio Basics Western Digital WD Elements My Passport Seagate Portable Backup Plus Slim 1TB 2TB 3TB 4TB USB 3.0, 2.5”, Samsung T9 Portable External Hard Drive Case -Black - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/499580338-canvio-basics-2tb-portable-external-hard-drive-usb-3-0](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/499580338-canvio-basics-2tb-portable-external-hard-drive-usb-3-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
