About this product
This is a recertified Seagate 4TB portable external hard drive with a 2.5-inch form factor, featuring USB 3.0 connectivity. It operates at a read speed of 5400 RPM and is designed to be USB-powered, making it convenient for on-the-go use. The drive comes in a black finish and offers a substantial 4TB storage capacity for various applications. It is identified as a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) despite also listing 'External SSD' as a supported drive type, confirming its mechanical nature.
Our take
For those seeking ample storage on a budget, this recertified Seagate 4TB drive is a solid option. The 4TB capacity is fantastic for backing up large file libraries or expanding laptop storage. Being USB-powered is a definite plus for portability, eliminating the need for an external power brick. Keep in mind it's a traditional HDD with a 5400 RPM read speed, so expect good but not lightning-fast transfer rates compared to an SSD. The 'recertified' status might give some pause, but it generally means it's been tested to function like new. The compact 2.5-inch form factor makes it easy to slip into a bag.
