Expanded Storage in a Compact Package
The 2TB external hard drive is suited to regular off-site backups for the professional on the move or, the security-minded business owner. The capacity is sufficient for the large multimedia files needed to operate media servers and gaming PCs. Portable Windows® and Mac® hard drives are critical if your internet connection is unreliable and you need consistent, instant access to your most vital files. The bus-powered, light and portable design of the Seagate® 2TB Backup Plus hard disk provides complete mobility to let you take your data anywhere in a purse, or bag.
Shield Data From Accidental Drops
G-Technology® G-DRIVE® Mobile models have a sturdy aluminum exterior capable of surviving blunt force and nasty drops, providing durability and improved heat dissipation for better reliability. Most portable external hard drives backed by the international standard rating of IP68 are fit enough to withstand sand, dirt and dust. Most of these models, like the ADATA HD710, are usually also shock-resistant for all-terrain use. They are water-resistant up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for 30 minutes. A 2TB portable external hard disk that meets the military drop-test standard MIL-STD-810 can withstand a drop from four feet. Some devices like the WD Passport have a patterned case that enhances the scratch resistance.
Realize Improved PC Performance
At 7,200 revolutions per minute (rpm), the drives provide faster access to your data, increasing overall system performance, even when editing high-definition files directly on the drive. Both portable and external desktop hard drives provide an easy way of freeing disk space and reducing wear on the system’s primary storage drive. Maximize system speed by installing the operating system and software on the internal disk and storing your personal files and photos on the 2TB external hard drive.
Plug-and-Play Capability
Top-rated 2TB USB and FireWire® external hard drives are automatically supported on Windows and Apple® Mac computers. The 2TB external hard drive is ready for use as soon as it is plugged in. A USB 3.0 connection provides data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps for rapid response while accessing files. Models with Thunderbolt™ 3 support provide a reversible USB-C® interface that enables versatile connectivity for ease of use.
Secure Valuable Information
Downloadable security software stops unauthorized uses from accessing private information, allowing you to secure your 2TB external hard drive with a unique password. The included storage backup software provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface that makes a backup of data effortless. For the heavy internet user, it is possible to keep records secure by transferring them to the external HDD for offline safekeeping.
