5 TB Portable Storage for Laptops and Desktops

This Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive provides 5 TB of capacity in a compact metal enclosure. It connects via USB 3.0 and works with both Windows and macOS computers. The drive is suited for users who need large amounts of extra space for files, photos and backups while travelling or working at a desk. A complimentary two-month Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan membership is included.

Plug-and-Play Setup with Backup Software

Installation requires only connecting the supplied USB 3.0 cable to a compatible port; no external power adapter is needed. The drive is recognised automatically and can back up data with a single click or on a scheduled daily, weekly or monthly basis. Reformatting may be required before the drive works with macOS Time Machine. The minimalist metal case offers a clean appearance but provides no ruggedised protection against drops or water.

5 TB Capacity Determines Suitability

The 5 TB storage capacity is the single specification that decides whether this drive meets a user's needs. Buyers who require more space for extensive media libraries or system images should consider higher-capacity alternatives. The USB 3.0 interface sets the maximum transfer speed, so users needing faster throughput for active video editing directly from the drive may find the performance limiting.
