  "account": "The Seagate One Touch 4TB is a portable hard drive offering 2TB or 4TB storage options, with USB-C power and no external adapter needed. At the time of writing, it retails at £95 ($199), with prices in the UK starting at £112 for the 2TB and £176 for the 4TB. The drive comes pre-formatted in exFAT, compatible with both Windows and macOS systems. The exterior casing is a mid-grey plastic but feels robust. The One Touch name refers to the product line's simplicity, one-click backup, automatic folder mirroring, and plug-and-play functionality. The drive is secured with password protection and hardware encryption using AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which does not significantly impact performance. Seagate's Toolkit software assists with setting up and managing the drive, highlighting deals with Adobe, Synology, and Mylio. For media professionals working with large files, the Seagate One Touch 4TB offers a balance between affordability and performance, with impressive transfer speeds of over 140MB/s in benchmarks.",
