Back Up Your Computer - And Your Facebook Photos, While You're at It
A hard drive is a hard drive is a hard drive. Unless you're a deep study, the differences between competing portable storage drives seem minute, and few things influence purchasing decisions more than capacity and price.
Pros:
- Software makes it very easy to back up photos from Facebook and Flickr (Seagate says more services are on the way) with just a few clicks
- Drive's modular connector lets you swap interface types
- Build is light, but case is solid enough to be tossed into a backpack
- Price is right.
Cons:
- Disparity in software features between Mac and Windows
- Only a $20 difference between 500GB and 1TB, so there's no reason to buy the lower-capacity drives
- Seagate's cloud storage service, which this drive can interact with, is pricey and seems unnecessary given the wealth of cloud-based options on...

Pros:
- Fast performance

- including Thunderbolt option
- Easy-to-use backup software
- Interoperable between Macs and PCs
- Available in four colors
Cons:

- Drive shell looks like metal
- but is really plastic

Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive Review
This drive isn't marketed as shock-proof and rugged. Nor does it come with a rubberized sleeve. I guess it can withstand minor shocks, but it's better to be safe than sorry and use a carry case.

Same problem as others - my computer doesn't recognize the drive
I have the same problem others have experienced: the computer just doesn't recognize the drive any more. I backed up a lot of my stuff on it, had no problems, worked fine for the 10 hours or so I used it to make the backup.
