It doesn't work, it's not comfortable

Didn't fit me. I tried using Time Machine on my Apple. If you enjoy reading lots of manuals and chatting with the support team, this product might be for you. This is definitely not a plugin game. First you have to agree to something, I don't know what it was because it was longer than the Bible, then give your email address and your name, I don't know then why they need it, so that the external hard drive works You have to download the software and then quit your job and spend time figuring…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Repair

Unreliable from the start

The form factor and light weight are really good, but as soon as I opened it, the auto-installer that came with the hard drive didn't work. Windows took place 1.81 TB 2, which borders on false advertising. I wanted to transfer about 200GB of travel photos/videos and the drive kept disconnecting. Transfer speed dropped from 60MB on the first plugin to 25MB after 30 minutes and 20GB on a 2TB drive. Different USB ports and different laptops only stay connected for about a minute. I believe the…

  • Dope 🔥

Worst product for external hard drives

I bought this hard drive just over a month ago and it was immediately apparent that the cable has a tendency to fall out of the USB port. After the loose cable fell out of the port a couple of times and didn't eject properly, the entire hard drive just stopped working. I've been trying to fix this for hours to no avail. I've followed all the troubleshooting guides I could find on the Seagate website and nothing helped. If you google this problem you will find tons of people with the same…

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • I'll write later

Attention return policy

I bought this backup drive from Seagate for my Mac. After 60 days it was working intermittently. The backup ended 10 days ago. I have contacted Seagate Technical Support for troubleshooting. After about 30 minutes, the technician determined that the drive was working properly and that the problem was with my Mac's Time Machine. After speaking to two different Level 2 people at Apple, they couldn't get Time Machine to back up and said it might be because of the age of my Mac (8 years old but…

Slow. Slow. Slow. in External Hard Drives

Bought a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB hard drive to replace a 4 year old Seagate Backup Plus 1TB hard drive that was running out of storage. The transfer rate when writing to the slim drive was terribly slow. When copying a 1.5 GB mp4 video file, the transfer speed fluctuates from 25 Mbps to 5 Mbps in a normal sine wave (5 second cycle) for the entire duration of the file transfer, with an average speed of 15 Mbps. When I tried to transfer a folder with 885GB of data according to Windows 10…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Crumpled

The Seagate Backup Plus Slim Hard Drive offers plenty of storage space in a small package with typical backup performance. But while it would be tempting to use such a small drive for portable or everyday use, the technology choices Seagate has made make these 2TB drives best suited for: an external drive for everyday use); or as an archive drive to store a permanent or remote backup. INTERNAL DRIVE: According to Crystal Disk Info, the drive in this case is a Seagate ST2000LM007, a thin 7mm…

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • Upgradeable
