CONCLUSION

   Only two words come to mind after finishing all tests with the TOURO MOBILE PRO 1TB and those words are amazing performance. I don't know how else to describe the recorded performance gap between the MOBILE TOURO PRO and all the other PHDs in our charts, not when the first surpassed all of them with ease. To be honest with all of you when i finished testing the G-Tech Mobile USB PHD i was worried that HGST used the exact same Travelstar 5K1000 2.5" 1TB HDD with the TOURO MOBILE PRO 1TB so i was quite happy when i plugged it in to start testing and found out that they actually used the brand new and very fast 7K1000 instead. HGST still gives you a total of 3GB of free online cloud space with the TOURO MOBILE PRO and although i personally don't trust online cloud storage enough to store crucial data i think it can be of use for people who have data of little importance that they would like to have access to from anywhere on the planet.

   What's even more impressive is the price tag of the HGST TOURO MOBILE PRO 1TB which is currently set at USD89.99 inside the USA (Purchase Directly from Amazon.com) and at around 80Euros inside the EU (Purchase Directly from Amazon.co.uk). At around that price range i can't really think of a portable hard drive that can beat the TOURO MOBILE PRO 1TB in terms of performance and although there are smaller 2.5" drives like the STOR.E Slim line by Toshiba they usually cost more and in the end the choice between performance and size/price is yours. For us the TOURO MOBILE PRO 1TB is currently not only the fastest USB 3.0 PHD available in the market but it also comes at a low cost and that's why it gets our Platinum award.
