Apart from having more storage capacity, why not just get a complete portable one that uses 5V and doesn’t requires you to power it with a plug? What advances does a big 12V external hard drive have against a smaller fully portable 5V HDD?
I have a Seagate One Touch 5TB and it’s great but I want another one probably with more storage but from what I’ve seen only Seagate’s Expansion Desktop drives offer more storage than 5TB.
Actually USB-C could power it. Or at least some ports could. But USB-C is a clusterfuck hence…
