FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Black Friday always brings a wave of tempting tech discounts, and this 
Seagate One Touch 5TB portable hard drive discounted to $130 (was $145) at 
Best Buy is one of the best. As I'm in the market for some additional 
storage, this is a must for my growing Black Friday wishlist. 

The compact 2.5-inch USB 3.0 bus-powered drive plays nicely with Windows, 
macOS, and Chromebooks, although macOS users who use Time Machine will need 
to reformat the drive before using it. 

With 5TB of space, it easily absorbs sprawling photo libraries, years of 
accumulated documents, large creative project folders, and media collections.

home office deals . Today's best external HDD deal 

This compact USB 3.0 portable drive has a brushed metal finish, 
hardware-level password encryption, broad platform compatibility, and 
one-click or scheduled backups. It includes Mylio Photos and Dropbox Backup 
trials, plus Seagates Rescue Data Recovery Services. View Deal 

The brushed metal enclosure gives the drive a smart look and feel, and the 
password-activated hardware encryption is handled entirely on the device 
rather than through external software. That alone will make it an attractive 
choice for anyone who routinely carries sensitive work files. 

Seagates Toolkit software simplifies backups and you can run them manually 
with a single click or schedule them on daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. 

For anyone who stores images across several devices (as I do), the included 
six-month Mylio Photos subscription provides handy tools for organizing and 
syncing extensive photo libraries across phones, laptops, and other external 
drives. 

The drive comes with a six-month Dropbox Backup Plan trial too, and Seagate 
bundles its Rescue Data Recovery Services along with a limited warranty, 
offering a safety net if the drive ever misbehaves or you actually wipe 
something important. Also consider these portable hard drive deals
