Small enough for a loaded laptop bag yet spacious enough for loads of content, the black 2TB Backup Plus Slim USB 3.0 External Hard Drive from Seagate combines portability with useful file storage. Formatted as exFAT and compatible with Windows and Mac right out of the box, this drive connects to systems running Windows 7 and higher or macOS 10.11 and higher using its micro-USB port and an included 18" micro-USB to USB Type-A cable that is compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. It is powered via the USB bus, which means that no additional power supplies are required, and also features plug-and-play functionality, meaning that no additional drives are required for use.
Also included with Backup Plus Slim is downloadable Toolkit Backup Software, which lets you backup on demand, schedule automatic backups, and mirror folders for file management. Take advantage of a 1-year subscription to Mylio Create to organize your photos and protect, edit, share, and sync them across multiple devices, and use a 2-month subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan to edit and create using Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.

I have been using the Seagate Backup Plus products for years and I think they are some of the best out there. They are super reliable, well-priced, and really last. I like to order the same product in multiple colors to further organize your backup system. This model is slimmer and lighter than the previous design. They continue to optimize their products.

Works fine, plenty fast over USB 3, and fits in a small pocket of a purse or shoulder bag for those files you don’t want to leave out of sight.

Easy to set up (actually no setup) and I have plenty of room for my pictures now so I don’t have to use someone else’s cloud.

The Seagates are quite good and crazy reliable. As an IT specialist me happened to hold different drives in my hands. Some of these are slow and some are noizy and overheat and keep the data bad. The Seagate obtains the golden balance, should be trusted much. The offtopic competitors’ drive 1 Tb I purchased once ago for my backup it damaged my backed up data so I had to format it again so I lost that. You never miss your work with Seagate however, no mistakes!

Love how affordable storage has gotten over the years. Got this specifically for real estate photography I’ve been doing because I needed something to back up my work without breaking the bank.

We got this small external drive to save pictures on our iPhones. It’s worked great.

The backup works great. I use it on my Mac and the install was simply plug and play. It is fast. In fact, I’m thinking about getting another 2TB Backup Plus to replace all of my thumb drives. Highly recommended.

I love the Seagate hard drives. I have been buying these for years and they always last and stand the test of time. The value for 1 TB is great too. This allows me to back up all my needs. I also love that this particular model comes in three colors. I use the different colors to further organize my file back-up systems and create multiple back-ups.

I have been using one for 2 or 3 years with no issue. I used to be a nomad living out of a backpack so the hard drive has been put through a good test. This is my second one; the old one is now my backup. I have faith in this product for photo storage and recommend it.

These drives work beautifully! They arrived formatted exfat so I could start loading my huge video files immediately on both Macs and PCs. Bought 4 so far. Would by again! Thanks B & H!

Needed to backup work files prior to retirement. Pulled all needed items with a simple drag-and-drop action! Instant plug-in compatibility with MacBook Pro.

I have never heard of this business before. But now that I have I’ll shop from here again and not only look forward to this opportunity, but do so with eagerness. Everything about the order process was smooth and efficient. The website and ordering/checkout process was very user friendly. The ordered product was delivered in pristine condition and in a timely manner as promised.

I had read reviews of various external drives and settled on this one. I had a failing desktop computer and wanted to back up all my pictures and other docs. The drive was easily loaded to the computer and the backup was fairly quick considering the volume of pictures. Just drag and drop and the files began to transfer. There is a bunch of additional software that comes with the drive, which I choose to not use or download. The drive is compact but feels very solidly built. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the purchase.

Hopefully they can recover my 3 years of photos that are on it before I throw it at a moving train.

This is my second Seagate drive. The first one worked flawlessly for Time Machine back-ups on my iMac. I only had to get another drive as the first one filled up and I wanted a second back-up copy. This one works as great as the first one. If I ever need future drives, I will go to Seagate (and B&H) first.

This drive looks so nice and works as expected – would definitely recommend it for anybody who wants to back up data.
