Ultra-Slim 80 GB Portable Drive

The GoHardDrive HD250U3 is an 80 GB 2.5 inch portable hard drive with a USB 3.0 interface and a durable aluminium chassis. It draws power directly from the USB bus so no external adapter is needed. The drive arrives formatted for Mac OS and works with USB 2.0 ports as well.

Suits Mac Users Needing Pocket Storage

This drive suits MacBook, iMac or Mac mini owners who want a small, bus-powered volume for documents and backups. It also connects to PS4 or Xbox One consoles for extra game space. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a drive pre-formatted for Windows should look at something else.

Plug-and-Play Setup With Cable Care

Installation is straightforward: connect the supplied cable to a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port and the drive appears without driver installation. The slim aluminium case is light but the connector end can loosen if the cable is pulled sideways. Keep the cable routed flat and avoid moving the host while the drive is spinning.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for this drive to work?

Will this 5400 RPM drive slow down file transfers on my older USB 2.0 laptop?

On USB 2.0 the transfer speed is limited by the port, not the 5400 RPM mechanism.

How can I confirm the 80 GB capacity is recognised after I plug it in?
