Built with the form factor of a credit card, the 5TB 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 5TB 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.

too slow for recording or editing, but fine for archive backup.

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.

I’ve filled up so many of these.. They’re very reliable.

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.

I bought this drive to backup photos. I plugged it into a Windows PC. When I plugged it in, it worked exactly as expected. I was able to do my picture backups with an issue. Backup was pretty quick thru the USB port….again what I expected. Physically, the drive is small. I was surprised – nice for storage. I would recommend this drive.

It’s a 2TB platter drive that is probably a 5200. Both my Mac and PC have no issue recognizing it initially but the disc is so slow on response that the machine will assume it failed or locked up and often aborts reads/writing. When it does work you can put lots of data to it as long as you have something else to do with your time like go work an 8 hour shift at a job or sleep overnight. Buy a SSD instead.

The software does not do a good job of making a bootable backup.

too slow for work, but fine for backup.

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 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.

Works great for online photo storage and I love the color. Easy to distinguish among other hard drives. Easy format to make Mac compatible.
