Seagate Backup Plus Slim & Backup Plus Fast USB drives from a few years back are shuckable and have 1TB or 2TB Seagate 2.5" drives in them from pre-shingled days. Fast is 4TB (2×2TB in RAID-0). I have shucked a number of the 2TB and they contained Seagate ST2000LM003 drives. Not sure but I believe these are all 5400 rpm. You may be able to find some new.
I am also a fan of the HGST Travelstar 7K1000 which is a 1TB 7200 rpm drive. Bought those as bare drives and they performed well.
Personally, my opinion is that whatever policy is mandating 2.5" hard drives which are no longer being made is simply outdated and uninformed. Find some reputable 4TB/8TB 2.5" SATA SSDs with high endurance ratings and implement a backup requirement. Samsung, Intel, Micron… go with enterprise drives if desired.
