Seagate One Touch Password Reviews

Works as advertised

Got this for a NSA backup. Plugged it in, formatted exFAT in about 3-seconds so I had access to all of the storage as I don't need and won't use the extra software goodies that Seagate provided, and it just… worked. No muss, no fuss. B&H customer support (I had to change my delivery address after placing the order) and delivery was excellent, as usual.

I recently purchased the Seagate 2TB One Touch from B&H Photo for my Apple MAC 16", and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the sleek, textured black finish to the lightning-fast performance, this external drive delivers on all fronts. 🔒 Top-notch security: The built-in password protection with hardware encryption gives me total peace of mind when storing sensitive files. Ideal for both personal and professional use. 🚀 Speed & compatibility: Transfer speeds are excellent; moving large video files and photo libraries is smooth and reliable. It works flawlessly with both Windows and macOS, and setup was incredibly easy right out of the box. 💼 Compact and durable: The drive is slim, lightweight, and durable enough to toss in a bag and go. It’s perfect for travel, remote work, or daily use without sacrificing performance. 🛍️ B&H Photo experience: As always, B&H Photo delivered fast shipping, great packaging, and a competitive price. Their customer service continues to be one of the best in the industry. Their pricing is just as good if not better than Amazon. Bottom line: If you're looking for a secure, high-performing external hard drive with ample space and dependable speed, the Seagate One Touch 2TB is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended!

What is the read and write speeds?
Asked by: franck
Seagate does not publish a read and write speed for the Seagate 2TB One Touch USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive with Password Protection (Black), B&H # SESTKY2000B. Generally, a drive with these specifications can offer speeds in the range of 100MB/s to 130MB/s. It would work best as a backup or general storage drive; for higher speeds, you would want to look at an SSD.
