Launched in November last year, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable 5TB hard disk drive is now available from local authorized resellers. The new drive has a recommended SRP of S$339, and this translates to the consumer paying about S$67.80 per TB. In comparison, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB, which used to be the largest capacity portable HDD on our local market, costs S$219, and that's about S$54.75 per TB.

Therefore, you are paying approximately 23% more for the new drive; however, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable 5TB does boast of premium features like being the first portable drive to have the 2.5-inch 5TB BarraCuda internal drive. Like its 4TB predecessor, the new portable HDD retains its svelte profile with a thickness of 20.5mm. The drive is supported on both PCs and Macs, and it’s bundled with Seagate Dashboard utility for your backup requirements.
