CONCLUSION

   Having spent quite a few years testing Hitachi GST products (now HGST) whenever i get to test one of their latest HDDs i pretty much know what to expect in terms of reliability and performance and the same goes for their Touro Mobile Pro line since it's basically an 2.5"/7mm HGST (Hitachi GST) 7200RPM packed inside a great looking piano black housing. Of course as expected the speed limits mechanical drives have (especially 2.5" ones) is the reason as to why we don't see large performance differences between enclosures and thus in the end there are other things to take under consideration such as temperatures, design and price. Well not really much to say either about the design since we did like it a lot (in the end however that always comes down to personal taste) or regarding the temperatures since the housing of the Touro Mobile Pro is the 2nd coolest one in our charts.

   With a current price tag set at USD65.99 inside the USA (Amazon) and at around 70Euros inside the EU the Touro Mobile Pro 500GB USB 3.0 portable HDD by HGST is placed right in the middle of similar products something which may drive away a small percentage of potential buyers who care not about performance and looks but rather just the price. Personally i don't think you can find something just as good as the Touro Mobile Pro for less and when i say just as good i mean in terms of design, quality and performance, that's why it comes highly recommended and gets our Golden Award.
