Very fast, 4TB of capacity, Very low cost per gigabyte
Very difficult to recover from a RAID 0 failure, Thicker and heavier than single-drive alternatives

After having looked at a total of fifteen drives, we can conclude that the Seagate Backup Plus Fast 4 TB is the most interesting from a technical point of view. It also performs very well, thanks to its two disks in RAID 0. We awarded this drive the Har...
