How about Seagate mobile hard drives

Seagate is a global leader in data storage products and has the second-largest market share in HDDs, competing with Western Digital. Nearly 40 years into the HDD industry, Seagate has grown in technological advancement. In the process of reshuffling the hard disk industry, Seagate acquired Samsung's mechanical hard disk business, and later became the largest shareholder of Leser, which not only improved its technical strength, but also covered a wider range of products.
 
The internal structure of mobile hard drives is very sophisticated, requiring strong technical and manufacturing capabilities. As the first company to manufacture hard drives for desktop computers, Seagate has the ability to manufacture all the core components needed for hard drives, including heads, media, motors and printed circuit boards. This also gives Seagate a strong sense of control over its products and can effectively ensure the quality and performance of its products.
 
In terms of mobile hard drives, Seagate is also a well-known "old brand", with both product strength and reputation. The Wirecutter has selected the best HDDs as Seagate products, and CNET has also given Seagate Backup Fast a high score of 8.8 in the Portable HDD Recommendation List.
 
Seagate's product line focuses on portable hard drives. Compared with the portable solid-state drives that have appeared in recent years, mobile mechanical hard disks have large capacity, affordable prices, and strong durability, which are suitable for daily expansion of computers. However, the shock resistance of the mobile mechanical hard disk is poor, and I am afraid of falling and touching, so try not to move it when the hard disk is working. Due to its high cost performance, mobile HDDs are still the mainstream of the mobile HDD market.

Ruipin series adopts a metal brushed appearance, the colorful body is more beautiful, and the price of the 2T version is 569 yuan.
 
The problem of data loss due to hard drive damage has been plaguing consumers, and most mobile hard drive manufacturers only offer hardware warranties. Seagate offers 2 years of free data recovery on the Wisdom series, so that users no longer have to worry about losing data. Seagate has increased the free "service fee" to the price of the product, and the price of the 2T version is 659 yuan, which is 90 yuan more expensive than the same capacity Ruipin.
 
Seagate also cooperated with DJI to launch a hard disk for dronesDJI Fly Drive, with a layer of silicone protective cover on the outside of the fuselage, which has improved shock resistance, and the fuselage comes with a card slot, which can back up the video materials taken by the drone at any time, which is convenient to use, and the price of 2T capacity is 899 yuan.
