- Seagate Portable 5TB Hard Drive for $90
Seagate 5TB Portable Hard Drive is back on sale.
The price is $90 for Costco members, or $94.50 after a 5% non-member surcharge.
Free shipping.
This is a "portable" external hard drive, about the size of a stack of 3x5" index cards.
The included USB cable is used for both data and power, unlike larger desktop/external drives which require separate cables for data and power.
We used this Seagate drive since last May, and found it performed better than other portable drives we used.
When plugged-in to a laptop's USB 3 port, it would backup 50 GB of files in about 8-9 minutes, about 92-99 megabytes per second.
5 TB is enough to store about 1 million photos taken from a phone, about 70,000 uncompressed photos taken from a SLR/mirrorless camera, or about 70 hours of HD-quality video.
