Description

4 TB of space that travels with you

Inside is a 2.5-inch hard drive, the same size used in laptops, and the external enclosure turns it into a light portable store. 4 TB holds a large photo and video library, a document archive or several full computer backups. A spinning-platter drive is built for capacity first: keeping and backing up files rather than running programs straight from the disk.

Who this external hard drive is for

Laptop users whose internal drive is running out of space; families who want photos and videos gathered in one place; students and office workers who move files between computers; and anyone who wants a copy of important data kept outside the computer itself. 4 TB leaves room for years of that.

Questions & answers

How fast is this drive?

The USB 3.2 Gen1 interface allows up to 5 Gbit/s, but the real read and write speed of a hard drive is lower. The manufacturer does not specify an exact figure in MB/s.

Does it work with an older USB port?

USB 3.2 Gen1 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, although transfers there are noticeably slower. A USB 3.x port gives the full speed.

Is it suitable for carrying around every day?

Yes, the 2.5-inch drive weighs 204 g and fits in a laptop bag. A hard drive has moving parts, so it is best not to shake it while it is working.
