Hello.

I love my old Seagate's light and small 2.5" Seagate HDD (USB2), but its 500 GB 
is too small and slow these days. What'a good one like that is faster, bigger 
storage size, and physically small and light? Also, it doesn't require a 
separate power connector (should be optional though if needed). I don't needs 
its cloud, encryption, etc. features. I can do that on my own.

I also will still need to use optical discs once in a while. A BRD 
reader is OK, but burner is not needed. It just needs to burn CDs and 
DVDs (dual layer too).

Both external portable devices still need the old USB2 port support for 
older computers (PCs with Windows, Linux, and mac OS) beside the newer 
computers like the (lat/new)est MacBooks.

Anything good and on sale from Best Buy, Amazon, Costco, Fry's 
Electronics, etc.?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
