Designed for growing your digital library, the light blue 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 have had the drive about a month now and have no problems with it. With that said, the free backup software that can be downloaded is not worth much, very limited. That is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Works well though the software was a bit cumbersome to set up. And the unit is fairly bulky. But all my information is backed up with plenty of room to grow!

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!

Have had for several months and have not had any issues with the drive. Not sure about transfer speeds but is faster then previous external hard drive.

It works. It’s quiet. It’s small. It’s fast. It’s connected to an ASUS router via USB 3.0. It’s nothing to get excited about…If only it was SSD at that price. It’s the end of my review.

This product seems to perform as advertised with no flaws thus far. The size is nice and the speed is impressive.

My experience with this drive has been that it never completes a full 1T back-up over several weeks, is painfully slow, and keeps disconnecting from my server. I have spent countless hours trying to get this to work as promised.

Bought 2 of these for new Mac TM and backing up old Mac TM. Can’t be too safe these days. Works fine for the price.
