Seagate Portable Hard Drives Are Compact

A hard drive that provides integrated security safeguards, such as hardware encryption and password protection, helps protect your data from unauthorized access. A Seagate portable external hard drive may also support both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices for backward compatibility. Some models come with a data management tool that enables seamless mirroring of folders. Other portable external hard drives come with built-in photo editing software for smooth photo touch-ups and organization.

Seagate Desktop External Hard Drives Offer Ample Add-On Storage Capacity

A Seagate desktop external hard drive makes it easier to offload large volumes of files from your internal drive with ease. It also helps ease the transfer of data between multiple devices. Most models come with a simple plug-and-play design, saving you valuable installation time. In addition to out-of-the-box compatibility with the Windows® operating system, most Seagate desktop external hard drives can double up as Mac hard drives once you reformat them. Hard drives with an integrated USB Type-C® port deliver faster speeds when paired with compatible devices. If you intend to store sensitive data, be sure to consider the physical design of each drive. Models that come with a rugged enclosure help provide a little extra protection from light impact. Seagate external drives with built-in power management help ensure efficient energy consumption for reduced energy costs.
