3TB Portable USB Drives
 
Hi,
Anybody know is such a thing exists yet?

I can find 2TB drives like this, but not 3TB drives.

I'm guessing the technology to pack capacity into such a small space hasn't arrived yet!

I found this announced in 2010 but I can't find the actual product!

I think SATA III 2.5" drives commonly only get to the 2Tb mark at the mo. however, if you do find a 3Tb 2.5" drive, you could always buy it along with the portable enclosure of your choice and put it in yourself.

Portable ones seem to only be up to 2TB just now where as desktop USB3 drives are available up to 3TB.

Cool - I was questioning my Goggling skills when I couldn't find one!

It's a portable one I need for backing up my NAS which currently holds 1.45TB so I was looking to future-proof the external backup for a longer life than a 2TB.
