Seagate Ultra Touch HDD 4TB Review

Rating: 8.0.

The latest addition to Seagate's extensive family of external drives is the Ultra Touch HDD. Utilising a USB Type-C port and containing at least 30% post-consumer recycled materials, the 4TB model is currently on sale for about £130 in the UK.

The new Ultra Touch HDD lineup consists of three capacities; 2TB, 4TB (the drive we are looking at here) and a flagship 5TB drive. The 4TB and 5TB models are 23mm thick while the 2TB model is thinner at 13.2mm.

Using the CrystalDiskInfo utility we see that the drive inside the 4TB unit is a Seagate ST4000LM024. The 2.5in drive has a spin speed of 5,400rpm with 128MB of cache. The transfer rate for the ST2000LM007 is quoted as up to 130MB/s.

Seagate back the drive with a 2-year warranty but bundle in a useful two-year Seagate Rescue Data Recovery service.

  • Usable Capacities: 4TB
  • Hard Drive: Seagate ST4000LM024.
  • Interface: USB 3.0.
  • Form Factor: external.
