Verbatim HDD 2.5" USB 3.0 GEN2 External hard drive USB HDD 1 TB

Portable 1 TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive for Backups and File Transport

The HDD 2.5" 1TB USB 3.0 Gen2 packs a full terabyte of mechanical hard disk storage into a slim enclosure that connects to any modern computer with a single USB cable. Built around a 2.5-inch spinning platter running at 5400 RPM, the drive delivers the kind of capacity that suits project archives, sample libraries, photo collections and full laptop backups at a price point well below SSDs of the same size. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed provides the bandwidth for fast file transfers, while backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 means the unit still works on older machines at lower speeds. Bus-powered operation removes the need for a separate mains adapter, so a single cable is all that links the drive to a laptop or desktop.

What Sets This Drive Apart

Bundled Nero Backup Software lets users schedule automatic file copies the moment the drive is plugged in, removing the need to install third-party utilities. The ABS plastic enclosure keeps the 2.5-inch mechanism protected against everyday knocks while staying light enough at 140 g to carry all day. Compatibility with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux means the drive drops into almost any workflow without driver installation.
