Verbatim Store N Go 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Silver
The Verbatim Store N Go 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Silver is a bus-powered portable hard drive aimed at people who need to expand their laptop or desktop storage or keep an up-to-date backup of their working files without carrying a power adapter. Its plug-and-play USB 3.0 connection means no driver installation is required, and it arrives bundled with Nero Backup Software and Green Button Energy Saving Software to cover the basics from day one.
Why this product
USB 3.0 SuperSpeed interface
USB 3.0 offers up to 10 times faster data transfer rates than USB 2.0 based on USB bus speed, so large file moves finish well ahead of older-standard drives.
No power adapter needed
It draws power directly from the USB port (5 V bus power), so there is no brick to pack and no spare socket to find.
Backwards compatible with USB 2.0
The drive works with any USB 2.0 port on a PC or notebook, so it is usable on older hardware even if the faster speeds require USB 3.0.
Bundled backup and energy software
Nero Backup Software and Green Button Energy Saving Software are included in the box, giving you a ready-to-use backup routine and energy-saving controls without extra purchases.
Slim, portable form factor
At 175 g and 14.5 mm thin, it fits easily in a bag alongside a laptop and sits neatly on a desk when not travelling.

- PC or Mac with a USB 3.0 port (required for maximum transfer speeds).
- Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
- Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.
- Works with USB 2.0 ports, but data transfer rates will be limited to USB 2.0 bus speeds.
- Uses a Micro-USB B connector; the USB cable is included in the box, but a separate adapter would be needed for USB-C-only hosts.
Best for
- Laptop users who travel light — bus-powered over a single USB cable means no power adapter to carry.
- Regular backup users — Nero Backup Software is included, so a backup routine can be set up immediately after plugging in.
- Large file archives — 2 TB of capacity suits photo libraries, video projects or document archives that have outgrown a laptop's internal drive.
- Mixed-platform households — compatibility with both Windows and Mac OS X means the drive can move between machines without issue.
Trade-offs
- Speed-critical workflows — at 5400 RPM this is a mechanical hard drive, not a solid-state drive, so random-access performance is lower than an SSD.
- USB-C-only laptops — the Micro-USB B connector requires an adapter that is not included in the box.
- Long-term enterprise or warranty-intensive use — coverage is limited to a 2-year limited warranty, which is shorter than the 3- or 5-year terms offered on some competing drives.
