In addition to 500 GB and 1 TB capacities, the new drives come packed with 3 GB of Touro Cloud Backup for free. Users can access files from any web browser, and share content by sending others a web link. Users can also option to upgrade the cloud storage to 250 GB for $59 per year.
According to HGST, the included Touro S local backup software quickly and automatically backs up photos, music, videos, and documents with just a few simple clicks. Once the software is installed, backups run every 30 minutes by default, but users can schedule custom backups on a time or day that is more convenient.
These two Touro S drives join the Touro Mobile Pro, Touro Mobile, Touro Desk Pro and Touro Desk drives. The “Pro” versions come packed with the backup software, 3 GB of cloud storage and remote access while the non-Pro models do not. Customers can see a full comparison by heading here.

danwat1234 1TB 7200RPM laptop drives? Must be the HItachi Travelstar 7K1000 drive since WD's Scorpio black (STILL) maxxes out at 750GB. The majority of laptop drives should be hybrids with 16GB+ of flash and then the option of 7200RPM on top of that IMO.Reply
