Based upon the new BarraCuda internal drives with 2.5-inch 1TB platter technology. Storage specialist Seagate has introduced what it claims to be the "world's largest capacity mobile drive". The Backup Plus Portable 5TB drive is based upon one of the new BarraCuda mobile internal drive (scroll down linked page) with 2.5-inch 1TB platter technology, introduced a month ago.

Seagate reckons the new Backup Plus 5TB mobile drives offer the best of both worlds; desktop sized storage in a portable bus-powered form factor. You connect these drives to your computer via USB 3.0 (45cm USB 3.0 cable included) but it is backwards compatible with the slower USB 2.0 standard. With a PC you can enjoy plug and play functionality while Mac users can use NTFS for Mac driver software (included) to get the benefit of platform interchangeability.
