Designed for growing your digital library, the black 4TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 External Hard Drive from Seagate is formatted as exFAT and compatible with Windows and Mac right out of the box. It 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 supports USB 3.0, which is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1, as well as USB 2.0. It is bus powered so 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 is downloadable Toolkit Backup Software, which lets you backup on demand, schedule automatic backups as you desire, 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.

Only harddrive I will ever use to back up my work from my freelance design and photography business. I also reformat and use this device as my working drive for photo editing.

I solely use Seagate for my backup external hard drive. This is my first 4TB sized one and it’s been great. Highly recommend.

I really love this HD, it is a very fast and quiet hard drive, and love the USB hub, its a great feature for use with macbook that only have 1 USB 3.0

I reformatted it to use the Mac encrypted formatting, and started using it with Time Machine as well as backing up from other drives, using up to 4 Tera with no problem. I see that Time Machine backups faster with this unit than any of the other desktop drives of 4Tera. I saw mentions of the noise, yes it is lauder if you place it over a wooden table. The additional UBS ports help a lot.

Sleek and stylish, but also a workhorse. This external hard drive checks all the boxes for me. It is something that I can’t live without!

Bought this for my partner, and she’s thrilled. She can back up her entire computer on the Hard Drive, and still have tons of room.

I am completely shocked. I started to use this drive as archive. Now, its dead. Do NOT buy Seagate! This is not my first dead Seagate drive, but this is the first that died in less than a years.

Great size, compact, goodly capacity, dependable.

Very compact. It’s small enough to fit in a pocket comfortably. Has a fairly low write speed. Transferred a 400gig file to it and after looking at the progress, decided to go do something else and come back. I just might pick up a second one.

B&H replaced the defective drive with one that worked. However, there was a delay because they were only going to replace it with one of the same color. When I told them color wasn’t important, they shipped right away.

I use for video editing, photoshop it super fast, not getting hot. It very small, I can carry on my pocket anywhere I go. It very convenient, you can do files transfer, storage or plug into your smartphone as an external storage, it pretty cool. So I highly recommend for everyone get one right now, you will not disappoint.

Easy to use.

Regularly (several times an hour) disconnects and reconnects to my machine. This is fine unless files are being transferred, at which point it becomes a major annoyance.

Great value to a lot of memory.
