No one can pass up a little more storage - in today's data driven world, storage is almost as important as speed. Now you can have both with the Seagate 500GB Expansion Portable USB 3.0 Hard Drive. It offers an extra 500GB of room for you to store your critical data.

It runs on the USB 3.0 channel, allowing for data transfer rates of up to 4.8Gbps (actual speed varies based on your configuration and other factors). And the unit is bus-powered, meaning no bulky power adapters to deal with - it even comes equipped with a USB 3.0 cable so you can get started as soon as you open the box.

Portability is this unit's selling point, though. The slim form-factor and lightweight casing make this a tuck-in-your-case and go kind of unit. It's perfect for extra storage for laptops or Ultrabooks, and you can never go wrong with a little extra space.

Simple
Setup is simple and straightforward; simply connect a single USB cable and you are ready to go. The drive is powered from the USB cable, so there is no need for an external power supply. Plus, it is automatically recognized by the Windows operating system, so there is no software to install and nothing to configure. Saving files is easy - simply drag-and-drop.
Speedy
Take advantage of the fast data transfer speeds with the USB 3.0 interface by connecting to a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 for additional system compatibility.
Store More
The Seagate Expansion portable drive is compact and perfect for on-the-go storage. Instantly add more storage space to your computer and take large files with you when you travel.
