The 1TB drive will probably give best value for money rather than the smaller capacities and, at its suggested retail price of £94.90 (but possibly less on Amazon) appears to be a sensible price for a nice USB 3.0 drive.

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

As you have seen above, the Seagate Backup Plus drive performs better than other competing drives which we have tested in the past. At an MRP of Rs 6,000, the Seagate Backup Plus drives comes at a cost per GB of Rs 6.44.

This summer Seagate, the masters of storage, released their huge 750gb hard drives. Hot on it's heals came their external version. With 750gb of portable storage, there really isn't much out there that you can't jam into this unit! Are you attempting to download every MP3 or video on the Internet?

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

My experience of external hard disks covers several years. I have purchased approx 2.5 terrabytes of external hard disks from varying manufacturers to act as storage and backup to my various machines.From experience the Seagate 750gb external drive has proven over the last 18 months to be the most...

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 use it as a secondary drive for my iMac desktop. I've had it for about 8months and can't say I've had any problems with it. I do not use it extensively, so perhaps if you read/write a lot to it, you may want to spend more for a "better" drive.

Good for archive , need to buy 2 similar hard drive and copy your data to two hard drive together. If one hard drive stop working you will have another copy.

8 TB - very high capacity for this size hard drive. Good price for this size

Slow recording after recording files for 2-3 minutes; Speed drop down up to 10 times !!! Very poor chance of recovery after a fall or shock this type hard drive. Poor build quality and performance of the device Hard drive have 6 platters and 12 heads + Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology

I use it to backup my Windows notebook and to store some data from my MBP13". The partitioning was easy. The backup process using Windows' software did not work at all calling an error that somehow relates to the 4K sectoring. I used Norton Ghost 15 instead to backup the Windows notebook.

Sleek design Fast enough Silent
