Q: QuestionWhat else do I need to use this with both my iPhone and the hp laptop in my cart(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe iPhone might need a dongle to go from lightning to USB-C, but as long as that's in place, an iPhone SHOULD be able to read it (cannot guarantee that though). For the HP, it just needs a USB-C port. Even then I think the device comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so that isn't a requirement completely. The ports you're used to will work. I would recommend finding a USB 3 port for it if that's what is needed however.Answered by DingusPingus
Q: QuestionCan I put karaoke files on this device?(2 answers)
A: AnswerIf it's a file and it fits within the 4 terabytes, it can go on this device. Whether or not it will do exactly what you need it to, I'm not sure.Answered by DingusPingus

4 TB SanDisk Drives
Great transaction. Good price, good product, well packaged, arrived when expected. I already had one of these 4TB external drives from SanDisk, and Best Buy had them for sale at a good price so I bought two more so I can rotate them for backups of my server. Very pleased!

My favorite portable SSD on the market
Outstanding device!! At a sale price of ~$200, this was an absolute steal. Super fast data transmission speeds in one of the most convenient form factors I've ever seen. This thing is TINY. Additionally, it has a rubber-like coating on it that makes it easy to grip. Very sturdy but insanely light as well. Included a picture of it compared to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, I was not expecting it to be so small (ordered it online) but was very pleased! I use it for RAW camera backups while I'm out on photo shoots and it has never given me an issue.
