To earn that premium, the T3 has a rugged new aluminum case and now comes with a USB-C port instead of the old Micro-USB 3.0 port. What's more, the new drive is also available in a 2TB capacity for $850, which is huge considering how small it is. (A UK price is not yet available, but that converts to around £590. Australian prices for the T3 are yet to be announced.) That said, if you're looking for a tiny yet tough, secure and capacious portable storage device to accompany your mobile devices, be it a laptop or a USB-C-enabled tablet, the T3 is an excellent choice.
