What it is and who it's for

The Seagate One Touch STKY1000400 is a 1TB portable hard drive with a USB 3.0 interface and a textured black metal finish. It is designed for users who need simple, bus-powered external storage to carry photos and files between Windows, macOS or Chromebook devices. Password-activated hardware encryption helps keep personal data secure while travelling. The drive includes downloadable Toolkit software for one-click or scheduled backups and comes with Rescue Data Recovery Services for added peace of mind.

Practical limits of the USB 3.0 interface

The drive connects via an 18 inch (46 cm) USB 3.0 cable and requires an available USB 3.0 port to reach its rated transfer speeds. Performance will fall back to USB 2.0 rates if plugged into an older port. The unit draws all power from the USB connection so no external adapter is needed, but total throughput is shared with other devices on the same host controller. Reformatting may be required for full macOS compatibility.

Capacity and headroom

One terabyte provides space for large photo libraries, document archives and video projects while leaving room for ongoing automatic daily, weekly or monthly backups. The compact 0.46 by 3.07 by 4.52 inch form factor weighs 0.33 lb, making it easy to keep in a bag for on-the-go access. Users who need multiple terabytes for full system images or extensive media collections will outgrow this capacity and should consider higher-capacity drives.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1TB One Touch or a larger capacity for my photo library?

The STKY1000400 provides 1TB of storage; if your library exceeds that, a higher-capacity drive would be needed.

What transfer speed will I actually see when copying large video files to this drive over USB 3.0?

The USB 3.0 interface supports up to 5 Gbit/s, but real-world speeds are limited by the mechanical hard drive inside, typically well below that ceiling.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 label on the box mean I need a special port, or will any USB 3.0 socket work?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 is the same electrical standard as USB 3.0, so any USB 3.0 Type-A port will deliver the full interface speed.
