Description

Four terabytes for all your media

4 TB is enough to keep a family photo archive, a music collection, films and backups of several computers in one place. Backup ToGo lets you set a backup schedule, and according to the manufacturer it also works with the cloud, local drives and mobile devices. ADATA shock sensors halt the drive as soon as an impact is detected, and the status light tells you when it resumes.

Who this external hard drive is for

Families who want all their photos and videos on one drive; creative professionals whose project files no longer fit on a laptop; and gamers who need console space for games they are not playing right now. It is powered from the USB port, so no separate power adapter is needed.
