🧠 Expert Features 

• Massive 12TB Desktop Storage : Model STLC12000402 provides 12TB of external capacity for large photo libraries, videos, work archives, game captures, and long-term backups without playing “which folder dies today?” every time the computer fills up.
• Storage Drive And USB Hub In One : Front-facing USB-C and USB 3.0 ports let you connect compatible phones, cameras, flash drives, and other devices directly through the hub instead of constantly reaching behind the computer.
• Charge Devices With The Computer Off : The front ports can recharge connected devices even when the attached computer is switched off, provided the One Touch Hub remains connected to external power.
• Password-Protected Storage : Built-in password protection helps prevent unauthorised access to personal photographs, business documents, and other sensitive files.
• AES-256 Hardware Encryption : The One Touch Hub uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption, giving protected data a serious security layer rather than relying only on a basic software password prompt.
• Windows And Mac Compatibility : It works with most Windows and macOS systems; reformatting may be required for certain Mac workflows or operating-system-specific formats.
• Seagate Toolkit Backup Software : Toolkit supports one-click backups, scheduled backup plans, file mirroring, and activation of password protection, making routine protection much easier than manually copying folders and hoping for the best.
• Convenient Multi-Device Backup : Seagate specifically positions the hub for backing up content from computers, smartphones, cameras, and USB drives through one central desktop storage device.
• Rescue Data Recovery Services Included : The exact EMEA model includes Rescue Data Recovery Services for added protection when unexpected physical damage or data-loss incidents occur; availability remains country-dependent.
• Six-Month Mylio Photos Offer : Eligible customers can redeem a six-month Mylio Photos subscription during registration to organise and consolidate photo and video collections; regional availability and offer terms may vary.
• Externally Powered Stability : The hub uses the included 18W power adapter, supporting high-capacity desktop storage and device charging without depending entirely on power from the computer’s USB port.
• Compact Vertical Desktop Design : Despite the 12TB capacity, the drive occupies only approximately 198.5 × 129.9 × 45.3mm, helping preserve desk space while keeping the front ports accessible.
• Two-Year EMEA Warranty : The EMEA configuration of STLC12000402 carries a two-year limited warranty.
• Honest Capacity Note : The operating system may display less than the advertised 12TB because Seagate measures one terabyte as one trillion bytes, while formatting and system functions also use some capacity.
