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.

I bought a second external hard drive because my traveling and needs to back my images on the road, First one is very reliable and easy to carry so I decide to purchase another one and I’m very happy for price and portable size and specially 5TB storage need it for drone footage and photos!

I bought two of these drives, one for back-ups and another as an extra drive. I like that they don’t require their own power sources and simply run off of USB ports. Plus these drives are small, completely quiet, and hold LOTS of data. They’re not fast drives, but definitely fast enough for my use. I like them!

I have been using this drive constantly since it was delivered. I chose it because of its high reliability ratings from multiple reviewers, and I find its speed more than adequate for my purposes. True: the cable is a bit short, but since I have it just above my desktop machine, that doesn’t present a problem. Definitely recommended.

I have five more hard drives, this one came with a lower finish than the others of the same make and model.

This is the second one of these drives I have purchased, but the first was a couple of months ago and it is working great so I believe this one will do as well. B&H is great to do business with.

I bought this drive to replace a 500 GB external drive on my desktop, which had died with less than 50% of the space filled. I was a bit surprised how small it is, but it does the job and the backup software is easy to use. I’m sure that it is designed mainly for portable use with a laptop and if I ever get a laptop I will be sure to try it out.

I needed more space in my Xbox and this was just the ticket. I had to do basic configuration in the Xbox Settings but that was easy. The drive was on sale and gives plenty of breathing room for games. One cable and tuck the drive out of sight and play on!

Compact and portable, with room to hold all your memories at a great price. Seagate products have always served me well.

It only writes for around 33MB/s with a USB 3.0. This is the slowest hard drive i’ve ever used.

Pretty loud, but a great deal on storage from a reliable manufacturer of hard drives.

Great drive. Very fast, easy to setup and the USB ports make it easy to daisy chain. Plus it had an international power adapter, which was needed here in Aus.

I Shucked this drive to use it in my Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus. Drive is a normal SATA drive. Need a 5TB 2.5 but want it cheap? Look no further.

2016 version changed a few things that made it a little harder to find those functions. I don’t understand the rationale behind moving functions from left to right on the tool bar. Problem to sync up with Google Calendar continues to cripple Outlook, which my major app. Come on, Microsoft. This is Home & Business Edition!
