But it’s all about the odds–drives don’t always go bad. Data recovery without the warranty can cost many hundreds of dollars. What you do about that is your own affair. Recovery is not 100% certain, so keep your drive backed up. You can purchase recovery insurance, but don’t rely on it. Seagate provides a setup utility, which allows you to register, download the Seatools or Dashboard backup utilities, and offers you a data recovery warranty for $10 for two years, or $15 for three years. The unit features a micro-USB port and comes with a cable that plugs into standard USB Type A for transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
But hey, if you want 5TB, you’re going to have to deal with a couple of extra ounces-it takes another platter or two to hold the extra data. That’s neither small or light for an external USB hard drive. The Backup Plus Portable 5TB measures about 3 x 4.5 x 0.75 inches and weighs about half a pound. The little black drive is always a classic.
