The Backup Plus Fast is by far the speediest and highest-capacity hard-drive-based USB 3.0 portable storage device to date. This latest member of Seagate's Backup Plus family of compact external hard drives achieves that by combining two internal hard drives on the inside in a RAID 0 configuration,...

The Seagate Backup Plus Fast is indeed extremely fast, and includes helpful backup software; The drive also provides top capacity, and is bus-powered

Users can't change the internal drives; the RAID 0 setup might result in a higher risk of data loss

Good value. Initially I installed the optional "Seagate Dashboard". Since this 2TB drive is for Apple's Time Machine, this was a mistake. Dashboard yields nothing of value. Worse, it clobbered the Desktop icons for Time Machine.

Seagate has upped the performance ante for portable backup hard drives by stacking two 2TB drives, striped in RAID 0, inside its Backup Plus Fast USB...

Very fast; 4TB of capacity; Very low cost per gigabyte

Very difficult to recover from a RAID 0 failure; Thicker and heavier than single-drive alternatives

I am using this disc as a Time Machine backup disc on my iMAC. It just does the job. It also takes up very little space.

The Seagate Backup Plus Slim has a lot going for it. Its slimline design is attractive; its software is solid (albeit with some interface stumbles); and its performance is competitive-or-better for the price.

Snazzy; lean design; Metal top resists fingerprints; scratches; Useful backup software that ties into public cloud

Some software-interface quibbles; Drive operated a tad warm to the touch

I bought this 2 days back but not from Naaptol. The HDD is simply great, too small and light. Just plug and play. I am using in on Windows and Linux both. For this you have to format it with NTFS and allocation unit size should be maximum at 64kilobytes then you will get max read and write speed.

Hi Guys After reading reviews from many sites, I went for this drive. The ordered one is Seagate 4TB (STCA4000300/ list price 12.4K ) but received this model (STDT4000300 /list price is 13.3K). I am not sure whether to return or retain. No websites gave me the difference between these two models.

Easy to Use; Fast

Bulky/Heavy

This was so easy to set up & use. Plus it is going to give peace of mind to have a backup. Love this product!

Amazingly my laptop got filled up very quickly with photos of family, friends, events etc. I take a lot of videos using my Ipod Touch 5th Gen which has very high MB when saving and I use my Nokia Lumia 1020 which has a 41 Megapixel camera so photos save at around 30mb a time.

Good Price; Fast Transfers; Easy To Set Up; Easily Stored

None

Drive was for a MAC and was not recognised by Windows on my laptop. Seller suggested that the drive was suitable for both Windows machines and MAC's which begs the question as to why Seagate would go to the trouble and expense of marketing a MAC specific drive.
