Aesthetically, the Touro Mobile Pro looks like and iPhone 4S. The drive has a black reflective surface on top and bottom surrounded by a gray frame. Unlike the iPhone, which is constructed of glass and aluminum, the Touro Mobile Pro case is made entirely of plastic, and is bigger than the iPhone.

The Hitachi name is clearly imprinted on the top of the drive (as if to remind you who made the drive), and on the bottom lays a single USB 3.0 port. As for the activity light, it's on the opposite end of the name, and it lights up only when you plug in the drive. Because of the reflective surface of the Touro Mobile Pro, fingerprints, dirt and dust all show up, ruining the wonderful look of the drive. If you want the drive to keep looking its best, a regular wipe with a cloth will be required.

The Touro Mobile Pro has a 7200-rpm hard drive inside, and includes a USB 3.0 cable, which you can attach to a USB 2.0 port. It also comes with Quick Install guide, and warranty information.

The drive also comes with 3GB of free online backup storage provided by Hitachi. To access it, you install the included Hitachi Backup software. Once that's done, you open the program and sign up for the service (powered by ) and create an account. The software by default backs up your system's Users folder to the cloud, but you can change what folders you want saved in the settings menu. You can also modify the backup schedule, limit how many versions of a file to save, and change how much bandwidth the program can utilize.

To view files, you can go to the website, log in, and see what's there. If 3GB isn't enough, you can add 250GB for $49 a year. In all, the software was easy to use and settings were simple to understand, though the Hitachi website looks really sparse.
