- rjh29 3y agoI was mistaken, it's 5TB: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07X41PWTY?ref_=pe_27063361_487360311_302_E_DDE_dt_1&th=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07X41PWTY?ref_=pe_27063361_4873... It's the size of a pack of cards and has one USB 3 plug for power. Unfortunately the larger ones are quite a bit bulkier.

With borg I'm doing incremental backups and while slow, borg seems fairly slow anyway so I haven't noticed. I wonder if it will get much slower once more of the disk has been written to.
