Although the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) in business is still in its infancy and questions remain open about the pace of progress, the lack of adequate skills to support AI projects, immature market ecosystem, lack of clean data and regulatory implications are the key challenges which might slow down the adoption in the Middle East, an industry expert said.

Speaking to TechRadar Middle East, Manish Ranjan, Program Manager for software and cloud at research firm International Data Corporation (IDC), said that there are a lot of AI-centric initiatives and mega projects in various stages in the Gulf countries.

In the UAE, there is UAE AI Strategy and various AI research labs by public and private sectors (ADDA, Dewa, Huawei and Smart Dubai), and AI university.

Saudi Arabia recently unveiled a new National Centre for AI, a national AI regulator, a National Data Management Office and is already delivering its first AI college.

“Organisations, especially from government, banking and finance, retail and resource industries are increasingly leveraging AI and ML to automate and optimise their businesses and operations,” Ranjan said.

The use cases around AI is still evolving where organisations are using various sub-sets of the AI technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), image/video analytics, machine learning (ML), and other technologies to answer questions, discover insights, and provide recommendations.

Many believe there may not be a single technology that will shape our world more in the next 50 years than AI, Sam Blatteis, CEO of The MENA Catalysts, a public policy consulting firm for government innovation arms and high tech multinationals, said and added that it has rapidly evolved into the hottest area in legislation in the Gulf.

This is the first time governments around the world are simultaneously releasing national plans to develop the same field, he said.

Being a subset of AI techniques, Ranjan said that ML enables computer systems to learn from past experiences by analysing a huge amount of data and improve their behaviour for a given task.

Many global vendors have started embedding AI, ML, and cognitive applications to provide ultimate business benefits to their users.

Lack of adequate data

In general, globally or regionally, Ranjan said that organisations are leveraging data and information (both structured and unstructured data/information) to educate their AI platforms to bring automation and improve operational efficiency—this has put data as a focal point.

“Data is instrumental for AI platforms and solutions to help the system become more intelligent by learning fast. If there is a lack of adequate and variety of data, AI would reflect a slow learning curve and the accuracy might also be impacted. The AI systems which can be able to process a vast amount of data in real-time would show greater results,” he said.

According to a survey conducted on CIOs by IDC, over 50% of organisations across the Middle East highlighted their plans to leverage cognitive and AI solutions by 2020.

“Definitely, the year 2020 would highlight some of the AI projects which were in proof of concept or sandboxing phase last year. We will see more commercial AI use cases emerging as the market matures,” Ranjan said.

According to IDC, spending on artificial intelligence systems for the UAE and Saudi Arabia combined is forecast to reach $132.3 million in 2020, witnessing an increase of 23.8% compared to 2019.

The spending in the UAE for next year is forecast to be $73.6m and $58.6m for Saudi Arabia.

“The AI software applications and AI platforms markets continue to show steady growth in the Middle East and Africa region, and we expect this momentum to continue over the forecast period,” Ranjan said.

The top use cases of AI solutions in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are automated threat intelligence and prevention systems, automated customer service agents, IT automation, fraud analysis and investigation, defence, terrorism, investigation and government intelligence systems, and digital assistants for enterprise knowledge workers.

However, Ranjan said that even if AI matures in future, “we can still not think of complete seclusion from human intelligence. We will have bots and machines taking the workloads which would be extremely efficient and at one point almost error-free; however, we would still require human intelligence.”

“How we legislate AI will become one of the defining themes of the next five years,” the CEO of the MENA Catalysts said. “We need to set strategic ‘rules of the road’ from the start — not to over-regulate, but to provide regulatory predictability to attract expertise, ideas, and capital.”

Moreover, if the Gulf is to develop knowledge industries of the future, he said that education here must be reimagined.

“We have to think about how we can ‘hack education’ to reprogram our education system, change course and plot a new education strategy. We should be teaching physics to kindergartners, robotics and computer programming in every school,” Blatteis said.

Machine learning, deep learning and big data are some of the most highly sought-after skills in the industry.

Star Wars fans were thrilled about The Mandalorian the second it was announced as the flagship show of Disney Plus, but few could've predicted that Baby Yoda would steal the show. The first live-action TV series to come out of the Star Wars universe features a guy who dresses a lot like Boba Fett with his own interesting background story, but The Child, as he's known, is arguably the real star.

Since making his debut in The Mandalorian in November, Baby Yoda has been a sensation. A cuter, younger version of the ancient Jedi master, he’s one of the most endearing creatures ever seen in the Star Wars universe, and has since become the talk of the internet – a walking merchandising opportunity, and the source of wholesome memes.

But what is Baby Yoda? How does he fit into the Star Wars universe? And what will we learn about him in The Mandalorian season 2? We unleash the Bothan spies to find out.

Watch The Mandalorian with a free 7-day Disney Plus trial

What do we know about Baby Yoda?

The creature who’s become known as Baby Yoda is the surprise break-out star of The Mandalorian. Wisely kept hidden from all the pre-release marketing for the most anticipated show on the newly launched Disney Plus, he made his debut at the end of the show’s first episode. This was where we discovered that the lucrative target the eponymous Mandalorian bounty hunter was pursuing was actually a green alien infant with large ears – who looked a lot like a certain diminutive Jedi Master…

He’s clearly of massive importance to the mythology of The Mandalorian – and Star Wars as a whole. The mysterious Client (played by legendary movie director/actor Werner Herzog) hired numerous bounty hunters (including assassin droid IG-11) to bring back “The Child” – as he’s officially designated in the show – with the successful hunter being handsomely rewarded.

The Client – who, going on his choice of Stormtrooper bodyguards and Imperial insignia around his neck – is working for the remnants of the Empire (eventually, it turns out, on behalf of Moff Gideon, introduced in The Mandalorian episode 7), and clearly wanted something from The Child. “I order you to extract the necessary material and be done with it,” he tells underling scientist Dr Pershing, but we have no idea what that material might be.

We’d be very surprised, however, if it didn’t have something to do with the Force – and rebuilding the Empire into what will become the First Order in Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Maybe they’re planning on removing the Midi-chlorians (Force-carrying particles) from his blood – that would explain why they were so keen on capturing Baby Yoda alive.

Is Baby Yoda a clone?

The Baby Yoda clone theory suggests that Dr Pershing is actually a cloning scientist, based on the symbols on his uniform. That hints that the little alien was created on Kamino at the same facility where the Clone troopers were made, and that there's a strong connection between Baby Yoda's origins and that part of the Star Wars universe.

Cloning is a big part of the Star Wars universe – indeed, clones fought an entire war – so the theory went that Baby Yoda could be a young copy of the original model. However, in Chapter 7 of the show, Kuiil (Nick Nolte) comments that the character doesn't look like he's been engineered, based on his experience on gene farms. So many mysteries still remain around Baby Yoda. Kuiil even dares to call him too ugly! Outrageous.

This being Star Wars, however, there are plenty of other theories flying around the internet. One suggests he’s the child of Yoda and Yaddle, and in terms of timelines, that’s not preposterous. If Baby Yoda is 50 years old, he’d have been born about 10 years before the events of The Phantom Menace, and presumably both Yoda and Yaddle would have been on the Jedi Council at that point. It’s also unlikely, however, because Jedi have strict rules preventing romantic relationships – and Yoda’s never given us any indication he’d be the kind of guy to break them.

Some say he could be a reincarnation of the Jedi master. That would be new territory for Star Wars, but the post-Disney buyout Star Wars universe has frequently played around with the rules of the Force, so it’s not impossible. That said, the fact that Yoda died only five years earlier makes it too late for him to have been reborn as a kid who’s now 50, so this is probably one to file in the “pinch of salt” column.

Intriguingly, the date of Baby Yoda’s birth is very close to Anakin Skywalker’s – within a year, in fact. The Phantom Menace hints very strongly that the future Darth Vader had no father and was conceived by the Midi-chlorians. Perhaps the similarly Force-sensitive Baby Yoda came into existence at the same time in the same way, as part of the Midi-chlorians’ efforts to bring balance to the force.

Finally comes the option that he’s simply some random member of Yoda’s species, with no connection to him beyond that. But hey, this is Star Wars where everyone’s destiny is interlinked, so does anyone really believe that?

What will we learn about Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian season 2?

The end of The Mandalorian season 2 suggests that its titular protagonist will be searching for Baby Yoda's homeworld. This is an enduring mystery in the Star Wars universe, and it's an exciting prospect for expanding the character's story in the second season.

Is Baby Yoda in The Rise of Skywalker?

Sorry, but Baby Yoda does not appear in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. He remains The Mandalorian's special little guy. It's probably for the best.

What is the name of Yoda's species?

Nobody knows – which is odd in itself.

The Star Wars franchise has a long history of creating names for almost every character, species or planet that’s ever appeared in a movie, TV show or book – even if they’ve had mere seconds of screentime. For example, the Death Star trash compactor monster in Star Wars: A New Hope was subsequently designated a dianoga, while the space slug that tries to eat the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back is an exogorth.

Yoda is a special case, however. Before George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney, the Star Wars creator had a strict rule that specific information about Yoda and his past was out of bounds for writers. That means we have no idea where he originated or what species he belongs to. The closest Lucas came to giving anything away was describing Yoda as “the illegitimate child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy”, though we suspect that’s not official Star Wars canon…

It’ll be interesting to see if, now Disney is in charge, they continue to follow Lucas’s directive to keep all things Yoda classified, or use Baby Yoda as an excuse tell us more about Yoda Sr’s mysterious past.

We do know, however, that Yoda’s species is naturally strong with the Force – and not just because Yoda himself had an incredibly successful career as a Jedi master. Even as an infant, Baby Yoda has the power to levitate a giant (and angry) Mudhorn, while the only other member of the species to feature on screen, as mentioned earlier, was Yaddle, a female member of the Jedi Council. She briefly appears in The Phantom Menace.

Why is Baby Yoda such a big deal?

Basically, the internet loves him – forget Porgs, this kid is arguably the cutest thing ever to come out of that galaxy far, far away. As soon as he made his debut in The Mandalorian’s first chapter, Baby Yoda became a meme generator of awe-inspiring power, and the most talked about thing in the show. Everything he does is guaranteed to make you go “Aww”, whether he’s sleeping, drinking soup, or even eating a frog creature alive – Baby Yoda can get away with pretty much anything.

Baby Yoda toys are real, and coming in 2020

It’s unlikely the merchandising bosses at Disney were complaining when the production team introduced Baby Yoda to the The Mandalorian’s story. Indeed, characters as cute as him are a dream come true for anyone who wants to sell lots of toys and clothing – unsurprisingly, there’s already some merch available (including the inevitable Funko Pop! Vinyl figure), with more to follow in 2020.

Here's a short list of the highlights, if you need any of them in your life:

Still, while you might find Baby Yoda a bit cynical, the fact that showrunner Jon Favreau and Chapter One director Dave Filoni were able to hold the character reveal until the show aired – keeping Baby Yoda’s existence a secret until The Mandalorian made its debut – suggests that in this case, keeping the storytelling sacred was the priority. After all, keeping Baby Yoda a secret arguably denied The Mandalorian and Disney Plus the biggest pre-launch marketing opportunity their hot new show was ever going to get.

Baby Yoda memes: there are so many

Cementing his status as 2019's icon, Baby Yoda memes are all over the internet right now. Instead of listing them all here, we've embedded one of the highlights above, and clicking on this link will unleash more than one person can ever reasonably happen. Good luck.

When is the next episode of The Mandalorian?

There's no doubt that the Pixel 3a (pictured above) and the Pixel 3a XL were big hits for Google in 2019 – combining decent specs, an excellent camera, and an affordable price – and now we have our first real look at what the Pixel 4a might offer.

Unofficial renderings put together by seasoned tipster @OnLeaks show Google's next budget phone from all angles, and it looks as though this could be another mid-range phone worthy of some serious consideration.

As usual with @OnLeaks renders, these aren't snaps of the actual handset – these are computer-generated graphics based on information leaked from the mobile phone supply chain, so the final design may vary.

We can see a punch-hole camera up in the top left corner of the display, plus a fingerprint sensor around the back (a feature ditched in the Pixel 4 phones), and a traditional 3.5mm audio jack for your wired headphones.

According to @OnLeaks and 91mobiles, the Pixel 4a will be sporting a 5.7-inch or 5.8-inch display, a slight increase over the Pixel 3a. The bezels on the new phone will be slightly smaller than its predecessor too.

What's not clear is what camera technology the Pixel 4a is going to be packing – remember the Pixel 3a had the same rear camera as the Pixel 3 – and we're also waiting to hear if the handset will keep the Motion Sense gesture detection of the Pixel 4.

If Google follows the same schedule as last year, then you can expect the Pixel 4a to get its official unveiling at the Google IO 2020 expo in May. We should get some news about what's coming with Android 11 at the same time.

Until then we've only got unofficial leaks and rumors to go on – but given the track record of @OnLeaks, there's a good chance that the Pixel 4a (and the Pixel 4a XL) are going to end up looking something like this.

These are the best phones of 2019, as picked by TechRadar

AMD’s EPYC processors have, by and large, been very well received by server vendors and users and if you head over to eBay, you will see a number of server processors being sold for dirt-cheap prices, a very enticing way to build a powerful workstation on a budget.

At the time of writing, the cheapest 32-core processor worth buying (outside of older Intel Xeon CPUs) is an EPYC 7551 ES on sale for $329, a price that includes global expedited international shipping.

ES means engineering samples and this one was launched back in June 2017 with an eye-watering price tag of $3,400; that’s a near 90% discount! Even if you missed that one, there’s plenty of other slightly more expensive 7551 parts on offer.

These are the best dedicated hosting of 2020

We narrowed down the best email hosting providers

An Epyc deal

The processor is based on the ZEN microarchitecture and uses the Naples processor core. It has 32 cores and 64 threads, with a clock speed of 1.6GHz. It uses a 14nm manufacturing process and has a TDP of 180W.

It supports up to 2TB memory (up to DDR4-2666) and has a L2/L3 cache of 16MB and 64MB respectively. Note that you will need a compatible heatsink fan and motherboards, probably flashed with the latest firmware, in order to get that processor working.

Compatible motherboards and systems include the Dell EMC PowerEdge R6415 and R7415 rack servers as well as the Supermicro H11SSL-i and H11DSi-B and the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0.

Given that the cheapest mainstream 32-core CPU, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, retails for a stonking $1799 at Newegg, this is definitely a whopper of a bargain.

Walmart was one of the first to coin the term super tank for printers that eschew the ubiquitous cartridge system that made the fortune of the likes of HP inc(k) and replaced them with a fixed permanent reservoir that needed refills from time to time.

If you want to get your hands on such a device, Canon currently sells the cheapest super tank printer, the Pixma G1200, for a mere $150 direct.

If you can afford it, though, we strongly suggest getting the G2200 which cost $160 (only $10 more) and gets you a scanner in addition, essentially converting it into an all in one printer.

The best small business printers are on our shortlist
We rounded up the best home printers available
Check out the best laser printers out there

Inked

The G1200 comes with four ink tanks with a full refill of the four costing about $60. You do get a starter kit of four bottles when in the box.

Canon claims that the PIXMA G1200 printer replacement inks do the work of up to 30 conventional ink cartridge sets. That translates to 6,000 black pages and 7,000 color pages, making it far cheaper than cartridge-based printers and ideal for as a small business printer.

On the down side, it may not be the fastest of printers, with a rated output of just nine pages per minute at a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200dpi - although it does offer borderless printing. Its output paper tray is similarly lightweight at 100 sheets.

While it doesn’t solve two of the most recurrent issues associated with inkjets; the clogging of heads and the soggy paper syndrome, the use of the continuous ink system translates into cheaper, much cheaper printing costs.

There was a time, not so long ago, where a new breed of laptops, called Netbooks, ruled the market but like dinosaurs, they disappeared, wiped out by Android and Apple tablets.

However following recent vinyl and retro console revivals, Chinese company Magic Ben is now aiming to revive the trend with a new device called the Mag1

Despite measuring just 20.7 x 14.6 x 1.8cm - a footprint almost as small as an A5 sheet - with a weight of less than 700g - the Mag1 actually has more ports than an Apple Macbook, sporting a full size USB 3.0 port, Type-C connector, microSD card reader, an audio socket and a micro HDMI port.

Here are the best business laptops of 2020
These are the best rugged laptops of 2020
We rounded up the best mobile workstations of 2020

Portable

The Mag1 manages to pack some high-end components like an Intel Core M3-8100Y CPU, 16GB memory and a 512GB SSD. However its touchscreen display, with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels - remains its biggest selling point.

Add support for a stylus pen, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader and a spare M.2 port and you get a rather enticing laptop with an incredibly small footprint for a mere $789.99 at Gearbest.

Despite its tiny volume, it comes with a 30AHr battery which the manufacturer claims will power it for up to seven hours. As an added bonus you can use a power bank to charge it via the Type-C connector as the latter supports power delivery.

After a summer which saw them crowned world champions and draw an Ashes series, England end the year and begin the new one touring South Africa. Alongside three ODI's and three T20 matches, there's a four-match Test series which kicks off on Boxing Day. You can watch all of the action no matter where you are in the world with our South Africa vs England live stream cricket guide.

With both teams entering something of a transition phase, its a series that is set to give some sort of indication of England and South Africa's cricketing futures.

The Proteas are in the middle of a big rebuilding period both on and off the field, with former captain Graeme Smith taking over as interim director of cricket and Mark Boucher just appointed as head coach, while fast bowlers Dane Paterson and Beuran Hendricks have been drafted into the Test series squad.

England will be looking to blood the likes of Dom Sibley and Ollie Pope into this Test side, however preparations for the tour have been less than ideal for Joe Root's men.

A sickness bug has struck the camp, with Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad and Jack Leach all laid low by flu-like symptoms, causing their final warm-up match to be downgraded.

The sickness drama isn't likely to alter what looks set to be a fascinating series however. So follow the instructions below to watch all of the action where we'll tell you how to grab a South Africa vs England live stream from pretty much anywhere on Earth.

KARACHI: Most of Asia will experience the last solar eclipse of this year on Thursday morning (today morning), as well as some parts of eastern Africa and northern Australia, but a small region will witness an annular solar eclipse.

Sun Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the moon, orbiting the Earth, comes in between the sun and the Earth, due to which the moon blocks the sun’s light from reaching the Earth, causing an eclipse of the sun or a solar eclipse. There are three types of eclipses.

Total Solar Eclipse

A total solar eclipse happens when the moon appears large enough to cover the entire face of the sun. A total solar eclipse is visible only from a small area on Earth. A total solar eclipse happens when the sun, moon and Earth are in a direct line.

Partial Solar Eclipse

Partial Solar Eclipse occurs when the shadow of the moon appears on a small part of the sun.

During a solar eclipse the moon casts two shadows on the Earth, the first one is called the umbra, which gets smaller as it reaches the Earth. The second one is called the penumbra, which gets larger as it reaches the Earth. According to researchers, people standing in the umbra see a total eclipse and those standing in the penumbra see a partial eclipse.

Annular Solar Eclipse

An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon is farthest from the Earth, which is why it seems smaller. In this type of an eclipse, the moon does not block the sun completely, but looks like a "dark disk on top of a larger sun-colored disk" forming a "ring of fire".

In this type of eclipse, the Moon covers the sun's centre, leaving the sun's visible outer edges to form a "ring of fire" or annulus - around the moon.

During an annular eclipse, experts use ground and space instruments to view this top layer when the sun’s glare is blocked by the moon.

But today, the moon will be near apogee, the point in its orbit when it is farthest away from the Earth. As a result, the moon will not quite be large enough to cover the entire sun, leaving behind a ring of light.

Safety

According to the experts and the researchers, that the sun can be viewed safely using the naked eye only during a total eclipse, while during partial and annular solar eclipses, the sun should not be viewed without proper equipment and techniques.

Meet the Canon Pixma TS3122, an all in one wireless multifunction inkjet printer on sale at Walmart now for a mere $19, down from $49.

The price includes free pickup but no free delivery; but that still makes it by far the cheapest printer we’ve seen, especially as this includes a full set of cartridges (PG-243/CL-244). free photo paper and a power cord but no USB cable.

On it's own, the cartridge set sells for $27, which is far higher than the price of the printer and the ink by itself. In other words, it is better for your pocket - but not for the environment - to buy them both together.

The best small business printers are on our shortlist
We rounded up the best home printers available
Check out the best laser printers out there

All together

What do you get in the box? A printer with a resolution of up to 4800 x 1200dpi that can do borderless printing, offers wireless functionality, app printing and has a rear paper tray capacity of 60 sheets. It also doubles as a CIS flatbed optical scanner with a resolution of 1200 x 600dpi.

The Pixma TS3122 has a tiny footprint compared to the competition and weighs significantly less as well. There’s no fancy features like touchscreen functionality, fax, automatic document feeder, USB printing or a network port, but we do like the fact that it is a reasonably well supported printer with its latest firmware dating from early 2019.

While it will not make the cut for the best printers of 2020, it will almost definitely be included in our best cheap printer deals lineup, assuming Walmart doesn’t run out of stock soon.

Realme had a great 2019, with its growing manifold in terms of users and thus gaining the crown for the fastest-growing brand in the country. For 2020, Realme’s ambitions include a smartphone with a 108MP camera and an entry into the fitness band segment.

Realme has gone on to become one of the most popular smartphone makers in India, primarily owing to its incredible value offerings. In a downhill battle with Redmi to win the market, both the manufacturers have often broken the consumers’ price expectations, making India one of the best markets for mid-range smartphones.

For 2020, Realme is aiming to diversify beyond smartphones and wants to be India’s largest tech-lifestyle brand starting with a Fitness band. It was confirmed in the latest episode of #AskMadhav, where the CEO confirmed the existence of the fitness tracker and mentioned that it would launch sometime in the first half of 2020 in India. We expect it to be a budget fitness band, similar to those from Xiaomi.

Madhav Sheth also confirmed in an interview with The Mobile Indian that a Realme smartphone with a 108MP camera would also be coming to India “early next year.” It will implement the Samsung ISOCELL Bright HMX image sensor, which debuted on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 (Mi CC9 Pro in China) in November. This Penta-cam smartphone is expected to come to India in January. Realme will probably wait to see how Xiaomi places its 108MP smartphone before bringing its own.

The interview also included details about Realme’s offline expansion. By the end of 2020, they plan to have over 30,000 retail stores in India. Madhav added that the growth wouldn’t be as rapid as their online sales, but they want to be more accessible. These could involve a new range of smartphones, specifically for the offline market.

Realme is looking to make a mark into non-smartphone products and wants to be a tech-lifestyle brand going forward. Earlier reports even suggested that a Realme smart TV is also in the works. Other plans include entering new price segments.

Reliance Jio has launched a new annual plan, the 2020 Happy New Year Offer, which comes with a validity of 365 days. This plan applies to both existing Jio users and JioPhone owners and is only available for a limited time.

Jio's 2020 Happy New Year Offer provides 1.5GB data per day for 365 days, along with 12,000 minutes worth of calls to non-Jio customers and 100 SMS per day. Besides, users also get access to the bouquet of Jio apps as a complimentary subscription for a year.

Overall, this plan ensures that users will not have to go through the hassle of recharging their Jio accounts every month or quarter. For instance, the Jio plan worth Rs 555 gives users the same benefits but is valid for 84 days. If you recharge the same plan for the entirety of the year, it comes down to Rs 2,220 for the whole year.

With the 2020 Happy New Year plan, Jio offers a discount of around Rs 200 if you go for the new plan. It is a great deal, but on the other hand, you will also be restricted to Jio's network for the next year. So, keep that in mind if you're planning to go for the Happy New Year Offer by Reliance Jio.

Airtel has a similar offer for their customers as well, and it costs Rs 2,398 (in Delhi) with 1.5GB data per day and a validity of 365 days. Vodafone Idea also has a plan with the same benefits priced at Rs 2,399. This makes the Jio 2020 Happy New Year offer more affordable than the plans by the other two telecom services.

Recently, Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone revised their tariff plans in the wake of Interconnect Usage Charge (IUC) regulations and also due to the massive loss incurred by the latter two telecom services.

In 2019, Reliance Jio also ventured into the home broadband segment with the commercial rollout of JioFiber with speeds up to 1Gbps. You can read more about it here.

The WD 5TB Elements and the Seagate 5TB Expansion are the cheapest portable hard drives per terabyte right now; they both cost $99.99 for an unformatted capacity of 5TB, which equates to just under $20 per TB.

You won’t find anything cheaper anywhere although we can see that prices have been down to as little as $89.99 recently.

Both utilise 2.5-inch hard disk drives with five platters and encased in a plastic enclosure. Both also offer a flat USB 3.0 port and lack features found on more expensive models; backup software, password protection, hardware encryption or Type-C connectivity.

That said, if your needs are simple, that is, you only need a backup device for your files or or a backup drive for your gaming console, then they should be great purchases. Note that both portable hard drives spin at 5400RPM and come with a one-year warranty.

As always, we recommend that you get a cloud storage solution to backup your files as well as a hard drive protection plan and a data recovery service for external hard drives. These may add up to the price of the drives but like insurance, it is better to be safe than sorry.
