This is perfect for those who want to keep a copy of each photo locally, but don’t want to go and save each and every one (especially those with thousands of photos). For starters, it has the ability to sync photos from your Facebook and Flickr accounts – even those you’re tagged in. Seagate’s software, called Dashboard, goes a bit further. It seems a little pointless to include the installer if that much data has to be downloaded, but it’s hard to complain about having up-to-date software.Ī lot of backup software that gets bundled with a hard drive tends to focus more on backing-up data on the PC it’s plugged into than anything else. I mentioned before that Seagate bundles its backup software on the Slim, but don’t expect a quick install: It’ll have to download 100MB or so from Seagate’s servers. Backing-up is serious business, and this is the first time I ever recall dealing with a Seagate software solution, so let’s dive in. Another major selling-point is the included backup software, which I’m sure the product’s name alluded to. The Backup Plus Slim drives boast a lot of storage space and a tight waist, but that’s not all they have to offer. As soon as that software is removed or moved (which is going to be most people’s first course of action), Windows will assign the same default storage icon to the drive. You might notice that this one in particular has a custom icon that’s thanks to the bundled software which sits in the root of the drive. Like all other 2TB drives, this one reports a total usable space of 1.81TB. 48 inches is, check out the Seagate’s Slim drive in comparison to the WD My Passport 2TB I took at look at just under two years ago: To give a further idea of just how impressive 2TB in. All models have a USB 3.0 interface, carry a 2-year warranty, and, as the name suggests, includes some backup software. Seagate offers these drives in four colors silver, blue, red, and of course, black.
38 inches thick, while both the 1TB and 2TB are.
Seagate’s Backup Plus Slim drives come in 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB sizes the 500GB is. To get a glimpse at its underbelly, look here. Does Seagate’s Slim drive suffer? We’ll investigate a bit later. Here, Seagate managed to match the thickness of WD’s 1TB with its 2TB… that’s incredible.Ģ,000GB crammed into half-an-inch is impressive, there’s no denying that, but a side-effect that can come from such designs is decreased performance. That might not seem too impressive at first glance, but consider this: WD’s My Passport Slim 1TB, which I took a look at this past fall, is also. With Seagate’s Backup Plus Slim, I’m not let down it brings a thickness of. Each time I receive a new portable drive to take a look at, it seems like it’s thinner than the last.
