Built with the form factor of a credit card, the 4TB One Touch USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive from Seagate lets you seamlessly scroll, edit, organize, and directly stream a large collection of stored photos and videos. Beneath its black exterior, the One Touch is equipped with a 4TB hard drive and a bus-powered USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) interface. The One Touch is formatted as exFAT, meaning it will work with both Windows 7 and later as well as macOS 10.12 and later without the need for a reformat. However, a reformat may be required for use with Apple’s Time Machine.
Included with Seagate’s One Touch HDD is an 18″ USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable, a one-year membership to Mylio Create, and a four-month membership to Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography plan.
Note: Both Mylio Create and Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan are redeemable during product registration and may not be available in all countries. Adobe’s plan is available to users 13 and older, requires a network connection, an Adobe ID, and must be redeemed within one year of drive registration.

I bought to backup other portable media that I use. Being light blue, this drive is easy to see in low-light conditions. Simple operation–just plug it into a USB port.

My video & photography business eats up space like crazy (as I’m sure you all know). The 2 TB has been a great inexpensive solution for storage. Transfer speed is fast enough for photo work, but lags a little if trying to edit video direct. Better to transfer to open space on PC HD then back again when through. I like Ruggard case option for use on site. Great prices.

I was copying items from a nearly full Pioneer 480Gb portable(SSD photo backup) as I need some insurance, it took a good hour to copy less than 1/2 a TB of data, it shows just how fast the Pioneer is compared but of course comparing an SSD to a spinning hard drive is like comparing apples and oranges. So far so good, hope it will last a few years of ‘occasional’ use.

I bought the drive from B&H to backup critical files on my internal HDD. The USB 3.2 interface saves a lot of time for bulky data transfer of large amounts of data. The drive worked flawlessly, and now I have peace of mind that my files are safe and easily retrievable if/when my 5 year old HDD decides to fail.

I had intended to add this to my TP-Link Router for network duty but failed to get it coordinated (likely my technical shortcomings). I added it to my main computer as that was my main concern in my back-up routine and photo storage expansion. Works just fine in that role.

I’ve never had any issues with these (knock on wood), and it’s my 4th one I’ve purchased. It might be a little slow, but it’s reliable.

It was a great choice for all of our pictures and videos, and with the size; hopefully we won’t need to order another one! Great quality.

About 1/3 the size of my other Seagate 5TB hard drive. Neat-o.

I got two of these to act as a sort of USB RAID 1 setup with some simple disk mirroring software. I reformatted both drives to NTFS, and after the lazy format finally finished, I am seeing throughput of around 130MB/s on large files. That is about as good a storage solution as you are going to get for $250, and it is convenient and portable. These drives replaced some older 2GB drives that had gotten too small. All of them are Seagates, never had a problem, unlike WD and some other brands. You can use different-colored drives for different purposes.

The instructions are straightforward, plug in, select folders to backup and the schedule and done.

Simple to setup, runs pretty fast for a usb drive. Does exactly what I bought it for. Very happy with this purchase.

This was purchased for the sole purpose of holding backup files and the color is a quick reminder if using it for that purpose. When transferring large files the device may get a little warm but placing a microfiber cloth on top along with a freezer gel pack keeps it nice and cool. May seem a bit strange but keeping the heat out of this or any electronic device keeps them around and in good working order for awhile.

It’s a good external hard drive with 5 TB storage. And I thought it’s made by metal. But it’s plastic. Any way, hope it can last long time.
