A normal full size USB would be way way more preferable to the Micro USB/combo cable. I've used similar cables from corsair and they end up not lasting. #SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM 2TB USB 3.0 PORTABLE DRIVE FULL SIZE#Ī full Size USB would be way way more reliable and provide a better longer lasting secure connection to the rear of the BackUp Plus.Ģ. Like all Mechanical Hard drives this one suffers from the same limitations. If you are moving large Files (movies, zips, large games) you will get about 100-131 Megs/sec would is good for a portable hard drive. But like all mechanical drives once you start to copy ALOT of VERY SMALL files. You will notice the transfer speed drops. But seeing how small file transfers are the Achilles heel of all mechanical hard drives I cant dock an egg, for something that all NON-SSD drives suffer from. Overall Review: The drive came undamaged and well packaged. The packaging is small as well as the drive. I was expecting something bigger for he 4TB capacity but the drive is extremely compact. USB3: It topped out at 131 MB/s with an access time of 13.3 ms The chassis of the Backup plus is very Sturdy and well made. Very reasonable scores for the capacity of the drive. 2 Friends both needed fresh installs (viruses/spyware destroyed their OS's) but before we wipe the drives clean I back up everything from their combined 5 hard drives. Over the coarse of about 5 days I copied roughly 7.7 TB to and from the drive. While I was freshly installing windows and then restoring files (movies, Steam Library, Origin library, Music, etc. The drive remained very cool while under 24/7 operation for that time period. Using my thermal scanner the drive never exceeded 87.5 F. Most spots were about 82-83F just a small hot spot or two at 85.5-87.5. But your could hold the drive and it was never "hot". Which surprised me, considering I was using the drive non stop for 4 days.

To get the most from the drive I recommend using a more Modern OS Windows 8.1/10 etc basically an OS that Support GBT file format so you get the most capacity from the drive without needing to partition. If you try the Lyve software its easy to since the Backup Plus and your Desktop PC. Overall I was extremely please with the Backup Plus performance,and how cool it remained under constant load. I was also impressed with the size of the Unit. #SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM 2TB USB 3.0 PORTABLE DRIVE REGISTRATION#.#SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM 2TB USB 3.0 PORTABLE DRIVE DRIVER#.
