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 red 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.

Seagate makes great products, so when i was looking for a backup drive for pictures this was my first choice. B&H quickly got it here and all is good.

Needed an external hard drive for storing my stuff that I don’t want to put on the internal ssd. This filled the bill nicely. I’m using it with a Mac, so I reformatted it before use. Cannot comment on the software that came with it.

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

Compact design & easy to use.

Seagate backups have never failed me, and this is another drive I use for photo library copies or Time Machine backups. I’m glad that the case on this drive has some texture on the back. I already had Seagate Backup Plus drives with very smooth plastic; slick enough that I was worried that they might slip right off my desk (fixed that with Xcellon anti-slip pads). No problem with this One Touch drive. For me, the included 4-month Adobe CC Photoshop (Lightroom in my case) subscription is a bargain beyond belief.

Works great for online photo storage. Easy format to make Mac compatible.

Picked the 2tb up from the deal zone. I’ve been shopping around for a while now and the Seagate was a case of right place, right time. Arrived a day early and immediately imported photo and video. I can edit directly from it and now I can keep my computer running smooth without dumping a ton of media directly on it. Definitely worth every penny

I had a rather old HD that I wanted to replace. This unit came up on sale so I purchased it. I connected it, and immediately formatted the drive and moved all my data to it, very quickly. Since then, rendering videos, copying files between devices are all performed very quickly.

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

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 have used over a dozen of these recently and I have nothing to complain about it. Works well, compact and reliable. My oldest one about 18 months and no issue. I used to buy another brand but after 2 early failure I switched to the Seagate product.

Perfect when you have thousands of digital photos and need a reliable backup to keep them safe. Seagate has always been my go to for storage.

So far (1 month) it’s a perfectly serviceable 2TB external 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.

I like Seagate for my backup drives…they have never failed me. Getting the Light Blue color drive was an extra bonus, so much nicer to look at on my desk than the standard black ones. Nice job Seagate!

It is small. For its size, it has a large capacity. It is reliable.

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.
