Great Buy! Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB Drive
I've had this product for 2 months and I bought it for both long term storage of pics and music, and for large exchanges of information from one computer to another, It's slim & lightweight for the amount of memory it affords; it works smoothly in both my Mac & PC.

SEAGATE Backup Plus STBU1000202 - Hard drive - 1 TB - blue
If you're after a USB3 drive, this is a hell of a deal at the price. Small, light, quiet and very fast. Check out some benchmarks here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Seagate-Backup-Plus-1-TB-External-HDD-Review/1790/4.
Pros:
- Great transfer speeds- up to 150mb+ a sec for large files
- It's quiet, light and doesn't need a separate power supply.
Cons:
- Random access speeds are decent but not amazing
- Expect ~25mb a second if you're copying thousands of smaller files

The BEST buy I ever made
Its very simple to explain why I like this so much....when you have 1 terabyte of storage in a space that is less than half the size of a paperback book you know somebody did something right. Its light, its fast, its so easy to carry you could forget you have it..
Pros:

This was by far the easiest backup I have done. Simply put cord in the storage device and plug it into your computer port and click to begin the backup. I am continually moving either my own laptop or the church's laptop back and forth from home to church and the unit itself is a sleek, slim design...

Liked the first one -- bought another
Two small drives are used for rotating offsite photo backup. Recording and retrieval both occur in non-hostile envirnonment, so no specific "toughness" is required. These drives are compact, fast enough for this application, and , so far, reliable.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Compact
- Easy To Set Up
- Easy to use
- Portable
- Quiet

Seagate Backup Plus Portable
The Portable comes with a USB 3.0 connector which can be detached (exposing SATA data and power connectors) and swapped for a Firewire 800 or Thunderbolt connector, making it a tempting proposition for those concerned about future-proofing and backwards compatibility.
Pros:
- Fast
- optional adaptors
Cons:
- Bulky Thunderbolt adaptor

Seagate Backup Plus 500GB review
Whatever Seagate is doing to make its drive go fast it's working. Like its 1TB compatriot in the super-sized portables group the Backup Plus 500GB left nearly every other drive in its wake when it came to our performance tests. In fact this was the fastest portable drive we've tested.
Pros:
- Great backup software blazingly fast
Cons:
- None
- Really

Cons:
- The Seagate Backup Plus caps at just 1TB
- and its price could be lower
