Have multiple other drives lying around here.

A Seagate HDD? No thanks, I still remember how they asked me for over $1000 in order to recover data from a 7200.14 2TB Barracuda that literally did nothing but sit in a case - all less than a year into warranty (they also asked me for the serial in order to invalidate the warranty with me on the damn phone - I can't believe it to this day I've been through this nightmare with Shitgate!).

The drive doesn't jump out at us it's a flat note when we expected some jazz.ġ8637390 said:DaglesJ and Thudervore have just read my thoughts. It's a solid external drive with a great software package, but we could say the same about the other models in the series. The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim doesn't compel us to run out and buy a new backup HDD. The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim 2TB performed well in our tests and even outperformed the LaCie Porsche Design 4TB we reviewed earlier in the year. We're mixing photos, Microsoft Office documents, MP3s, PDFs and a couple of small game save files. The third test involves a 15.2TB directory of files similar to what you have in your My Documents folder. The test transfers both small and large data blocks simultaneously. In the second test, we transfer the entire directory of rFactor, a PC video game. The test consists of a sustained large-block sequential transfer. The first test involves transferring a Blu-ray ISO of a popular movie to the drives. To demonstrate real-world performance, we have three tests that represent the type of data often stored on portable storage devices.
