At the heart of all the six 5TB portable hard drives sold by Seagate is a 5TB Barracuda internal HDD, the ST5000LM000, which spins at 5400RPM and has a 128MB cache. I reviewed one from Seagate, the Backup Plus, in 2019. As it stands, it is one of the more expensive USB 3.2 SSD out there and while it does perform admirably, we find it hard to justify the premium despite the wonderful app package that comes with it.(Image credit: Desire Athow // Future) Hardwareįor the past six years, 5TB has been the highest capacity reached by traditional hard disk drives in the 2.5-inch category. Where it fails to compete with others is on price. It is smaller than competing rivals that perform on par with it and backed by a long warranty.

The unique selling point of the Seagate OneTouch 2021 is not its performance but the premium software and service bundle that comes with it and we’d wish that others - like WDC - did the same. With read/write speeds of up to 2GBps, the SE900 is extremely fast and colourful as well thanks to its gamer focused RGB theme. It is cheaper than the OneTouch but offers a rare glimpse of what life would be if you have a compatible USB 3.2 Gen2x2 interface. On the other hand, if speed is what you’re after, then the Adata SE900 (the follow up to the SE800) should fit the bill nicely. We liked its slower counterpart, the PD400, when we tested it in 2020.

You get the same level of warranty and theoretically roughly the same performance. If value for money is your main concern, then the Teamgroup PD1000 with its IP68 rating and a price tag of only $129.99 is very tempting - that’s a massive $40 saving. We’d still fork extra to get the T7 Touch which adds a fingerprint scanner that allows you to seamlessly encrypt and protect your device. A superb bargain if you want a drive without bells and whistles. The non-touch version is currently available from major retailers in the US for less than $160. The award winning Samsung T7 external SSD is a favourite of ours. Rivals will be alternative external SSD that have a capacity between 950GB and 1TB with a USB Type-C port and an average speed superior to 800MBps. Seagate claims what it calls an industry-leading success rate of 95%. Unlike data recovery software, this one is done by the manufacturer and covers one in-lab data recovery attempt with an encrypted storage device containing your recovered data if the recovery is successful. It also comes with a redeemable service called Rescue data recovery services. Ours was 3-years but it will vary depending on where you purchase the item.
