Verbatim HDD 2.5" USB 3.0 GEN2 External hard drive USB HDD 2 TB

Portable 2TB Storage with USB 3.0 Gen 2 Speed

The HDD 2.5" 2TB USB 3.0 GEN2 portable hard drive delivers high-capacity storage in a compact 2.5-inch form factor. Designed for users who carry large amounts of data between locations, this drive offers 2TB of space in a slim, lightweight enclosure. The USB 3.0 Gen 2 interface provides fast data transfer rates for backing up files, archiving media collections, and moving large project files between workstations. Plug-and-play functionality ensures immediate recognition on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems without additional drivers.

What Makes This Drive Stand Out

The USB 3.0 Gen 2 standard supports theoretical transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, doubling the bandwidth of USB 3.0 Gen 1 (5 Gbps). This means faster file transfers when moving large video files, RAW photo libraries, or audio session data. The 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive form factor allows the device to draw power directly from the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. Backward compatibility with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports ensures the drive works with older computers and laptops.
