The editors didn't like

  • The supplied USB3 lead is really too short to connect to a large host PC
  • Where I found the Backup Plus had to hang in midair. This shouldn't be a problem if the Backup Plus is connected to a laptop
  • No carry pouch is supplied to protect the Backup Plus
  • Would like to see a GoFlex Slim style version even smaller and even faster
  • Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
  • Thunderbolt support is only available via an adapter – but this does help keep the size of the drive down
  • A bit pricey
  • Uninspiring design
  • Internal drives are not removable
  • RAID 0 set up has a higher risk of data loss and we wish it had option for RAID 1
  • It's also a little bigger in size than many competing portable USB 3.0 drives
  • None
  • Proprietary charging cable — no Micro USB charging
  • Warranty a little short
  • Only available in 4 TB capacity
  • Social-backup software has some crucial Facebook limitations
  • Drive shell looks like metal
  • But is really plastic
  • Thunderbolt or FireWire adapters are extra
  • Case lacks rubber feet
  • Slow writing small files and folders
  • Disparity in software features between Mac and Windows. Only a difference between 500GB and 1TB
  • So there's no reason to buy the lowercapacity drives. Seagate's cloud storage service
  • Which this drive can interact with
  • Is pricey and seems unnecessary giv
  • Images downloaded from Facebook are compressed versions of the original full-sized images

  • Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Gute Mobilität, Optionales Upgrade
  • Im Test zeigt die Seagate Backup Plus 1TB keine Schwächen, aber auch keine herausragenden Leistungen. Dafür ist ihr Preis pro GByte von 7 Cent sehr günstig. Und mit einem optionalen Adapter für rund 40 Euro Aufpreis wird die USB-3.0-Platte zum Firewire- ...

  • Die Festplatte gibt es in verschiedenen Farben und auch Größen. Mit 83€ für 500GB gibt es natürlich günstigere 2.5 Zoll Festplatten, jedoch muss man sich eben überlegen ob die Software für einen nützlich ist und ob man die 2 Jahre Garantie benötigt. Ich ...
