Key Specifications

Effortless Plug-and-Play Setup

This drive connects via a single USB cable and draws power directly from your device, so there’s no need for a separate power adapter. It’s automatically recognised by Windows and macOS, eliminating the need for driver installation or configuration. Files can be transferred simply by dragging and dropping, making it accessible even for non-technical users.

Compact Design for On-the-Go Use

Weighing just 159 g and measuring under 1.3 cm thick, the Seagate Expansion STKM2000400 fits easily into a bag or pocket. Its matte black finish resists fingerprints, while the sturdy build protects your data during travel. Whether you’re working from a café or backing up while travelling, its portability ensures your files are always within reach.

Fast USB 3.2 Gen 1 Transfer Speeds

With USB 3.2 Gen 1, you can transfer large files significantly faster than with USB 2.0. For example, moving a 25 GB 4K video collection takes minutes rather than hours. This speed is particularly useful for photographers, videographers, or anyone handling large media libraries who needs quick backups without long wait times.

Rescue Data Recovery Services Included

Seagate includes Rescue Data Recovery Services with this drive, offering professional recovery assistance if data is accidentally deleted, lost due to hardware failure, or compromised by software issues. This service provides added peace of mind for users storing irreplaceable files.
