Our verdict
A tenner against £86.99 sounds like no contest, but capacity settles it. The SanDisk Cruzer Blade gives you 64GB on USB 2.0 in an ultra-compact stick with SecureAccess encryption software, and its 4.6 rating over a staggering 285,482 reviews shows how dependable it is for shuttling files. The Seagate Portable Drive offers 1TB, roughly sixteen times the space, with drag-and-drop backups on Windows and Mac and no software installation needed, rated 4.5 by 264,396 buyers. For documents and the odd photo dump, the Cruzer is plenty. For backing up an entire laptop, only the Seagate makes sense.
