Seagate Backup Plus 5TB USB 3.0 External HDD (Black)

The Seagate STHP5000400 is a hard drive that pairs generous capacity with true grab-and-go convenience. Inside its compact housing you have 5TB of space, plenty for whole photo libraries, large video projects, or years of system backups. A single USB 3.0 cable handles both data and power, so the drive draws what it needs from your laptop, desktop, or compatible tablet without an extra power brick.

Setup takes only seconds. Because the drive arrives preformatted in exFAT, it is ready for Windows 7 or later and macOS 10.11 or later the moment you plug it in. No drivers, no reformatting, and no complicated utilities are required—just connect the included 46 cm micro-USB cable and start moving files at speeds that can reach up to 5 Gbps on a USB 3.0 port. If you are working on an older system, the drive falls back to USB 2.0 automatically.

Keeping data safe is just as straightforward. Seagate Toolkit software lets you run on-demand copies or schedule automatic backups so new files are protected in the background. You also receive a one-year subscription to Mylio Create for photo organization across multiple devices and a two-month Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan, making the drive a practical hub for creative workflows.

Whether you are a photographer who needs to offload shoots on location, a student carrying class projects between campus and home, or a small-office professional looking for a simple disaster-recovery copy, this bus-powered drive slips easily into a backpack and works wherever a USB port is available.
