Avolusion Z2-S 1TB USB 3.0 Ultra Slim External Hard Drive/Pocket Drive (Renewed)

Bottom line: The Avolusion Z2-S 1TB USB 3.0 Ultra Slim External Hard Drive/Pocket Drive: 1TB capacity in a pocket-size 2.5-inch slim chassis you can carry in a jacket; main trade-off: renewed unit, not new, so cosmetic wear and prior use are expected.

Cons
