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 drive’s 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.

View DealWith 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 Seagate’s 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.
