The double-thickness matt-black twin of the 1TB slab: shades of 2001 and Arthur C Clarke.

Still small, quiet, cheap, plugs straight into my MacBook Air USB port (without needing an external power supply). Have swapped it for its 1TB brother in Time Machine effortlessly, and it's claiming that it will back up at 100GB/h the initial 500GB image. Subjectively seems faster than the 1TB drive. Failed after just over two years for a few minutes' use per day and indeed only half filled, so rating reduced from 5 to 4, though this may have been macOS silently failing to fsck.
