Black Friday always brings a wave of tempting tech discounts, and this 
Seagate One Touch 5TB portable hard drive is one of the best (and more 
practical) early offers. 

It usually retails for $144.99, but it's currently marked down to $129.99 at 
both Best Buy and Amazon . The external drive offers large amount of storage 
in a compact, travel-ready design that will suit professionals, students, and 
creatives managing growing media libraries. 

The drives hardware-based password protection adds an extra layer of security 
that will be welcome for anyone who regularly carries sensitive documents. 
Its brushed metal exterior gives it a more stylish look than standard plastic 
housings, but it remains lightweight and easy to slip into a bag. Today's 
best Seagate One Touch 5TB deal 

Seagate One Touch 5TB Portable HDD provides ample space for backups, as well 
as USB 3.0 connectivity, hardware encryption, and broad device compatibility. 
Added perks include a brushed metal design, Mylio Photos and Dropbox trial 
offers, plus a warranty with data recovery services, making it good value for 
large, reliable storage. View Deal 

With USB 3.0 connectivity and broad compatibility across Windows, Mac, and 
Chromebook devices, Seagate's portable HDD will essentially be plug-and-play 
for most setups, although Mac users planning to use Time Machine will need a 
quick reformat. 

The 5TB capacity is large enough for backing up large photo and video 
collections, work archives, and even game libraries. 

In a welcome touch, Seagate bundles access to Mylio Photos and a Dropbox 
Backup trial, giving buyers options for organizing and syncing files beyond 
the physical drive itself. 

The inclusion of a limited warranty and Seagates Rescue Data Recovery 
Services adds some peace of mind, especially for anyone planning to use the 
drive as a primary backup solution. 

We reviewed the 1TB version of the drive a while back and said it performed 
admirably. We weren't keen on the price, but that's not a problem with this 
Black Friday discount.
