do not buy any seagate
i used only as a back up so most of the time is disconected in a safe place but after 3 years just stoped working i lost all my info, better to spend some extra in a ssd.
seemed easy to use at first, and now I can't back up anything without buying their software online. so glad I bought this one. i owned an older version of this and it still works great, but the backup plus seems to be the problem.
It works
Great style and quiet. It was hard to set up because the directions for a Mac user were poor. I had some problems figuring out what to do. The product is geared for PC's, but works with Mac's. However, not all the features are functional for a Mac user.- Attractive Design
- Compact
- High Capacity
- Portable
- Quiet
- Mac's Have Concerns
For $60, can't be beat
I've used this to provide back-ups to PCs I have in two separate locations as well as doing some back-up images for my work computers. And the end-of-year price was the best!- Nice compact size, easy to tote, a truly portable HD solution
- Fast using a USB 3.0 connection
- Haven't found any yet
Review: Seagate Backup Plus Portable
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.- 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
- 2-year warranty
- Disparity in software features between Mac and Windows
- Only a 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 the...
A speedy little portable hard drive with backup software that can save Facebook and Flickr photos
The Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive is a 2.5in hard drive-based external storage device that can be used as a backup drive not only for your computer, but also for photos that you have uploaded to your Facebook and Flickr accounts.- Quick performance
- Easy to use
- Changeable interface
- The Dashboard software interface needs some work
- Facebook and Flickr uploads failed
- Flickr backups restricted to the 'large' photo size
The Backup Plus Portable Drive is a fast, flexible drive you can upgrade to other, faster interfaces down the line. It's snap-simple to use for basic backup tasks, and the price is right.
- Fast performance
- Flexible interface
- including Thunderbolt option
- Easy-to-use backup software
- Interoperable between Macs and PCs
- Available in four colors
- Social-backup software has some crucial Facebook limitations
- Drive shell looks like metal
- but is really plastic
Really nice portable notebook drive. I love the finish on the case. A little worried that the adapter connection to the hard drive might get loose over time, but other then that it is an awesome product. If i have the chance, i'll probably purchase another in the future.
- usb 3.0
- nice finish on the case
- reputable brand
- worried the adapter connection to the hard drive might get loose over time
Almost too easy to use?
Just got this recently and have backed up my laptop a couple of times. Seems almost too easy and too fast... not sure if I've done it properly but it says that everything was backed up! Would highly recommend it!
