Seagate has introduced a 5TB version of its Backup Plus Portable line
of hard-drives, in what it’s claiming is “the largest capacity mobile
drive on the market.” Put simply, if you need more storage on a single
device than everyone else on the go, Seagate wants to be your only option.
If
you’re wondering how big and heavy a 5TB portable hard-drive must be,
the Seagate 5TB measures 11.5x7.8x2cm (LxWxD) in dimensions – almost
twice as thick as a Backup Plus Slim drive (1.2cm) – and weighs less
than a quarter of a kilogram, at 247 grams. That’s been made possible by
Seagate’s new technology behind its 5TB BarraCuda internal hard-drive,
which was itself announced only last month.
That means you can use
the 5TB Backup Plus Portable without an external power source, which is
convenient especially if you’re on the move. And there aren’t any data
speed trade-offs, with the new Seagate drive capable of 120MB/s over a
USB 3.0 connection
