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.

Extremely pleased with this drive’s performance. The USB 3.0 Connection is fast and makes this a great drive for operating with my IMac Music Library. The drive is easy to install and performs flawlessly. I store both my Music Library, Documents and Photos on this drive.

The drive was easy to install and just needed to be erased/reformatted to use with time machine on my imac. The only downside is that I didn’t know/notice that the edge of the product and cord were white instead of black like the 1TB one I used to use. Not a big deal, but that’s why I took away 1 star. Otherwise, I really don’t have to pay attention to it, which is perfect for a back up drive.

This is a great product to dump video clips or recordings on and pass off to clients.

I have loved the past two generations of this hard drive and this one is no different. It’s very fast on data transfer, very reliable (I’ve dropped my old ones plenty of times) and this one is very very quiet. Seagate makes a fantastic product.

I was apprehensive about installing the device with very limited digital ability, but this went extremely well. It’s doing the job and by the way, I was able to partition the drive for some storage besides backup. Really excited about this drive. Certainly would recommend the Seagate storage device.

This thing has really saved me. I am an amateur photographer and had been paying for so many different cloud storages. It got to be super expensive and It was annoying that I had different photos saved to different clouds depending on storage size. Now, I have all the storage I’ll ever need. It came on the mail before I even expected and it’s super easy to use. I bought a case also from B&H to go with it so that it can securely come with me wherever i go. I do wish it was a little darker blue but it really doesn’t matter cause it performs excellent and does exactly what I need it to do.
