Small External Hard Drive With 5 TB For 99 Euros - Deal Of The Day

The Seagate Expansion + Portable delivers 5 TB of storage and does not cost the world. 99 euros are currently due, the equivalent of around 19.80 euros per TB - a very good price-performance ratio for external disks of this form factor and this capacity.

Seagate Expansion + Portable 5 TB: How's the performance?

When it comes to performance, Seagate's portable hard drive offers solid data. Thanks to the USB 3.0 connection, it shifts data from A to B reasonably quickly. As is usual with portable hard disks in the 2.5 inch form factor, no external power supply is required. The power comes simply through the USB socket. The dimensions of the hard drive in the case are 11.7 × 8 × 2.1 cm, with 238 grams, the hard drive is also quite light. Compactness and independence from external power supply therefore make the disk a successful "upgrade" for the rather spartan amount of storage of Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with 500 GB and 1 TB respectively. Of course, the hard drive can also be used on the computer just as well.

According to a test report from TechRadar, typical read speeds are between 131 and 146 MB / s, and the drive can write between 130 and 139 MB / s. In the test, a 10 GB file could be transferred from the computer to the disk in 78 seconds. The Seagate hard drive remains quiet during operation and gets lukewarm at most.

My conclusion: If you are looking for a lot of compact storage and are not ready to invest in expensive SSDs, you should access it here.
