#SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS 4TB SLIM PORTABLE HARD DRIVE ANDROID#

The fact that the drive has the top capacity, especially the 4TB version, means the storage gap between a portable drive and desktop is no longer an issue. The Seagate Backup Plus/Slim is one of the most convenient ways to backup your data, at home or on the go. Like the Fast, the Backup Plus/Slim also worked very well in my testing, emitting no noise, vibrations, or heat. So to get the most out of its performance, you do want to use it with USB 3.0. With USB 2.0, the drive averaged between 28MBps and 30MBps. Note: (Longer bars indicate better performance) This means if you lose it, anybody can access your information. Unlike the WD My Passport, the Seagate Backup Plus Slim doesn't come with an option to secure the contents of the drive.

You will need to register the drive to activate the OneDrive account and will need to pay to keep using it after to years. Other than the backup software, the new Backup Plus/Slim drive also include a two-year 200GB subscription to Microsoft OneDrive online storage, a deal that normally would cost another $95.

The Social feature provides a way to share your media on social-networking sites, including Flickr, Facebook, and YouTube, and, conversely, back up media from those sites to the portable drive. Note that Seagate also has the Backup Plus Fast that also offers 4TB, but this drive includes two internal drive on the inside, instead of just one. Normally, you need a much larger desktop drive to have more than 2TB. The 4TB Seagate Backup Plus, though a bit thicker, is the first compact single-volume portable drive with 4TB of storage space.
