This device is not only a practical tool, but also a stylish accessory. It has a minimalist brushed metal enclosure that reflects the light and the colors of its surroundings. It is slim and light, easy to carry around and fit into any bag or pocket. It is also simple to use just plug it into a computer via the included USB 3.0 cable, and you can back up your files with a single click or schedule automatic backups. You can also reformat it for use with Time Machine if you have a Mac.
But what really impressed me about this product was the complimentary subscription to Mylio Create and the membership to Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan that came with it. These are two amazing software that allow you to edit, manage, and share your photos with ease and flair. You can enhance your images with filters, effects, and adjustments, organize them into albums and collections, and share them with your friends and family on social media or cloud services. You can also access your photos from any device, anywhere, anytime.
With the Seagate Backup Plus Slim, I feel like I have a mini studio in my hands. I can capture the moments that matter to me, store them safely and securely, and express my creativity with them. I can also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the 2-year limited warranty that covers any defects or malfunctions.
This product has exceeded my expectations and enriched my life. It is a marvel of modern technology that I would recommend to anyone who loves photography, art, or simply keeping their files organized and accessible. It is a product that Virginia Woolf would have admired, for she wrote: “The beauty of the world…has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.” The Seagate Backup Plus Slim helps me preserve both edges of beauty, the laughter and the anguish, the joy and the sorrow, the light and the dark. It helps me keep my heart whole.

I am however curious though how long and well it will continue to stay operating as despite the aluminum shell, it seems like it might be fragile inside and could possibly break internally if dropped even from a reasonably short distance onto a hard ground surface. I guess there's only one way to find out though I hope I never do, lol.
First, when I got it, I was expecting the standard brick, which it's not, it's very thin and super light weight. There's no A/C adaptor & the drive operates with just a standard USB 3.0 plugged into your computer.
Larger Seagate external HD's are formatted for NTFS (used for streaming), this HD is exFAT, and is more suited for using as a back up for music, small video, text and pic files. I'm not sure if doing a disc reformatting that it would give an NTFS option, I'm sure it probably would.. but honestly, considering my bad luck with a few other external HD's in the past few years, I didn't really want to press my luck trying to find out.
I've used this 2 TB EX HD every day for the past seven months, with no issues. I've received no errors whenever it's been connected. It's fast, very dependable - no lagging or freezing up, and I simply love it - I would have to give this drive 5 Stars. I highly recommend this drive.

The storage capacity is amazing, 2 TB.
When time comes to backup, the integrated software does everything from A to Z. You just mention what you want to backup, and the rest follows.
Later after, when you update your backup, the software updates all the folders (removes files you have deleted, add new files, changes files you've changed). On the other hand, it creates an archive folder with all your obsolete files, just in case you want to recover them.
There is no differential and incremental backups anymore... this is more userfriendly.
You have a mirror function to backup other files in realtime if you want.
I really like it and I strongly suggest it.
PS: I haven't try the restore function yet.
趣味で動画作りをしているためバックアップ用に購入しましたが…容量を気にせずに保存できるのがありがたく、USBを使っていた頃には戻れないなぁと思いました。
音も静かで気になりませんし小さいので場所を取らないのも良いと思います。
Fácil desde que lo conectas, pones tus datos de garantía y a trabajar!
Grata sorpresa el poder disfrutar de 4 meses de Adobe Creative Cloud, por la parte de Photoshop y probar que vale cada peso pagado.
Como en todo, conéctalo directo a tu USB 3.0 de la tarjeta madre, si bien lo aguanta en adaptadores USB, es un dispositivo que necesita la energía suficiente para funcionar al máximo (y evitarte sorpresas como una desconexión)
De ahí en fuera, es una buena manera de tener tu vida digital a salvo, en lo que bajan un poco los precios de los SSD externos y a mayores espacios.
Así que aprovecha la compra y si te gusta probar el diseño te servirá muchísimo los 4 meses de regalo del Photoshop y Lightroom
