Manufacturer description

The Seagate One Touch SSD 500GB packs a full portable solid state drive into a pocket-sized enclosure wrapped in a woven textile finish, so it survives daily commutes without the bulk of a traditional external drive. It connects over USB 3.0 using the included cable, which means it works with Windows and Mac laptops out of the box, no software install required. If your machine is USB-C only, you will need a separate adapter, and Time Machine users may need to reformat the drive first. The appeal here is speed in a small package. Because it is flash rather than spinning platters, you can…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Seagate One Touch SSD 500GB External Solid State Drive Portable using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the PC & gaming hardware category. Seagate's PC & gaming hardware lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for PC & gaming hardware of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Seagate One Touch SSD work with a MacBook?

Yes. The included USB 3.0 cable works with both Windows and Mac laptops. If your MacBook only has USB-C ports, you will need to buy an adapter separately.

Can I use this drive for Time Machine backups?

It can be used with Time Machine, but Seagate notes that reformatting may be required first. Back up any existing files before reformatting, since that erases the drive.

Is a USB-C cable included?

No. The One Touch SSD ships with a USB 3.0 cable. For a USB-C computer, you will need to purchase an adapter separately.

What software comes with it?

Seagate includes a one-year complimentary Mylio Create subscription and a two-month Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan membership. Both are noted as not available in all countries.
