Description

Room for your files that fits in a pocket

At 14 mm thick and 149 grams, the drive slips into a jacket pocket or the side pocket of a laptop bag. The matte finish keeps fingerprints from standing out. A single USB cable carries both data and power, so you never need a wall socket. In Windows the drive shows up straight away in File Explorer.

Who this external hard drive is for

Laptop owners whose internal drive is filling up, and anyone who wants a second copy of photos, music and documents kept apart from the computer. 1 TB is a sensible size for backups and moving large files around. For a big photo library or video archive, consider the larger capacities in the same series.

Questions & answers

Does this drive work with a Mac?

Yes, the manufacturer lists support for both Windows and macOS. In Windows the drive works straight away without installing software.

No. It is powered by the computer's USB port and works with a single USB cable.

Yes, USB 3.2 Gen 1 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but transfers are noticeably slower on a USB 2.0 port. Actual speed also depends on the port and file sizes.
