Abstract: The main difference here is that Seagate's used the far more common USB 3.0 interface for its drive, meaning it's good for use on PC's, Macs and everything in between. The downside is that, to get enough power for it to work on older USB 2.0 ports, you'l...
The Seagate Backup Plus Fast HDD 4TB is a brilliant backup option and because of USB 3.0, it could even be used to supplement your existing hard drives with software and even gaming due to its performance. Installation is very simplistic and it offers a h...

The Backup Plus Fast looks like any other external drive from the outside. But what's on the inside counts, and in this case it counts very fast indeed.Seagate Backup Plus Fast: On the plus sideHard drives are, as a rule, not terribly exciting creatures. ...
Abstract: If you're buying a portable hard drive, chances are you're looking for extra storage space for your desktop PC or laptop. It makes sense to find a drive with the maximum capacity possible, without trading off too much portability. The Seagate Backup Plus...
Abstract: For the longest time, I have been waiting for someone to take 2.5-inch external storage to new heights in terms of capacity. Late last year, we finally were able to reach 2TB in a 12.5mm z-height, and now with the Seagate-Samsung division, we have the M9T...

Abstract: A dinky and slow USB 2.0 key is last year's news. Today's USB drives are faster than ever, have capacity that was a fantasy just a year ago, and are surprisingly affordable. This month, we're testing three sweet drives that redefine the concept of USB sto...

Good speeds, especially for reads, 4TB, No adapter required for powering up the drive
RAID 0 carries risks that would discourage many users to purchase, Seagate Dashboard doesn't have the option to change the RAID configuration, Local price (India) is insanely priced, Casing should be lot stronger considering it houses 2x mechanical HDDs
For a 4TB portable drive, it is pretty quick. Mind you, this is the first 4TB portable drive that's tested here so far. The reads are very impressive, and the writes are pretty good, with the performance standing around single-platter 1TB drives. The buil...

Prodigious storage capacity. Speedy throughput.
No more Universal Storage Module (USM) interface. No Thunderbolt option. Bulky
The Seagate Backup Plus Fast is one of the fastest and most spacious portable external hard drives we've seen. That, and the fact that it costs 6 cents per gigabyte, makes this one a winner....
