touro desk pro 4tbb

   The Touro Desk Pro 3TB USB 3.0 External HDD by HGST was very fast and perhaps the fastest single USB 3.0 External HDD in the market at the time of its launch so the large exterior housing didn't matter much to us (if at all). Of course much like most things in the electronics industry it didn't take long for another external HDD to take the performance crown and that was no other than the G-Drive Professional 4TB USB 3.0 drive by G-Technology (a subsidiary of HGST). The new Touro Desk Pro 4TB USB 3.0 External HDD was released shortly after the G-Technology model and not only does it blow away the previous Touro Desk Pro model out of the water in terms of performance but it goes head to head against the G-Drive Pro so that's more than enough for us to not be concerned about its size and the same should apply for people who are after the best possible performance and reliability without having to spend much in the process. My only problem with the Touro Desk Pro is the lack of an power on/off button something that i do hope they fix in future models.

 

   We all know just how significant the price of a product is and obviously so does HGST since currently their Touro Desk Pro 4TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive retails for just USD159.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 160Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). As always there are many available models in the market but none around the same price range can come close to the performance of the Touro Desk Pro 4TB mainly because the Deskstar 7K4000 sits right at the top in terms of performance between other non-enterprise class models. Long story short if you are after the sweet spot between performance, capacity and price then there's nothing better than the Touro Desk Pro 4TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive by HGST and that's why it gets our platinum award.
