Available in colorful metallic finishes such as gold, silver, ruby and platinum, it delivers two levels of data protection – local backup and cloud storage – to help protect, transport, store and access photos, music, videos and documents from anywhere. With its thin design and an aluminum enclosure, the 7,200rpm HDD-based external drives moves files up to 23% faster than standard 5,400rpm-based drives.

In addition to receiving up to 1TB of local storage, every customer also receives 3GB of Touro Cloud Backup for free.

With cloud backup, users can access and share files from any web browser, tablet or smartphone. When using the cloud service, all content is stored in its natural format, so files are easy to view, download and share from any web browser, anywhere. Users can share online content with others by sending a web link. For more cloud storage, users can upgrade to 250GB for $59 per year, which includes multiple computer protection. Those who upgrade receive Apple iPhone and iPad apps for free.

With a few clicks, the local backup software backups photos, music, videos, and documents from a computer to the drive. Once installed, backups run every 30 minutes. Settings allow users to schedule custom backups on a time or day that’s convenient for them.

Computers, tablets and smartphones may come and go, but personal data remains, and continues to grow daily, which is why people need reliable storage solutions to help store, protect and manage their most valued content,” said Mike Williams, VP and GM, HGST innovative solutions group. “Featuring popular new colors and a sleek design, our new Touro S drive family not only gives users color options to match their style and personality, it gives them multiple storage options with the best performance, capacity and reliability for their digital lives.

The external HDDs are Mac and PC compatible, and feature a two-year limited warranty.

The 1TB drive has a MSRP of $99.95. The 500GB is at $79.95.
