Designed for growing your digital library, the light blue 5TB 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.

sadly this failed second day. Seagate was amazing to replace. Sadly replacement was also bad. I’m awaiting the third drive now. 6 months of effort.

I own two of these 8TB Drives, one is the White Mac version and the other is the black generic 8TB version with the 2 USB hubs. I love these drives. So far, fast and reliable. I switched to Seagate for all my backups about 3 years ago. So glad I did.

So far has done what it is suppose to. Was a great price for 4TB.

Reformatted to NTFS and ran a full backup of my laptop using Acronis (388 GB). The drive was rather warm by the time it was done but apparently no ill affects. As long as it keeps working I’m happy.

Love the gold color as my company color is gold. I already have a couple red verions so when the gold went on sale I picked up another. Never seem to have too much storage available

It is so compact, I just felt cheated, because, buying the drive for use a long time, I just haven’t seen longevity in small drives, having had top ranked Samsung drives wear out weeks after the Warranty runs out. It maintains download speeds after a few minutes, unlike my Samsung SSDs, sometimes starting at 152 Mbps dropping below 12 Mbps, and taking hours to transfer digital files that only takes minutes on these. I am sold on Seagate AGAIN, after they’re newer drives began failing in less than 5 years. I still have working 15+ or more Seagate drives.

I use the drive for backup purposes and to store a huge amount of backup data. The drive has everything you could want (tiny package, fast, giant storage capability, stylish and cool, USB3) and just about nothing that you don’t. Plus, the usual B&H benefits like a price you cannot beat, free shipping. How can you not pick up a few of them. I did!

Checked all the boxes. Very powerful, easy to use and looks good. The usb included is high quality so it doesn’t disconnect easily. A very good purchase

My brand new drive (mac version) bought 1 month ago backed up my computer and now won’t mount. Tried everything and Seagate has NO PHONE NUMBER. Because the drive won’t mount, I can’t access my serial number to use their web page. Wasted hours. Am going to scream.

I have two in different colors for easy identification. Excellent backup drive, but the case is kind of slippery and I worried about it sliding off a desk or table. I put an Xcellon anti-slip pad on the bottom; no problems!

I connected it to my macbook pro It connects quickly and without any problems I highly recommend the product

Ok, it’s a portable hard drive… it works. But why talk-up the new colors, etc., and then ship a cheap plastic cased product? Seriously, it was a gift to my wife… she asked me to take the cheap white plastic off. She thought it was a little box. I had to tell her THAT is the case built onto the drive. It sits in a drawer now.
