One such unit that provided equal quality and had the same features but was way overpriced in comparison was the Western Digital My Passport Ultra 2 TB portable external hard drive.

 The Storage unit comes in 1 to 4 Terabyte units, however the 2 and 3 terabyte units offer users the most bang for their buck. The other units were not worth the purchase when the cost per Gigabyte was considered.

The Seagate will however require external power and cannot be totally powered by USB, which is expected for drives of this size.

The reviewed version is marketed as the desktop version, however this does not limit the units ability to work along with portable laptops and other devices that can access the drive via USB, what distinguishes this version from the other Non desktop versions is that Non desktop versions come with a smaller unit and are usually fitted with a laptop sized 2.5 inch hard drive for maximum portability.While this unit and other desktop portable hard drive units sport the much larger 3.5 standard desktop sized hard drives.
