Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB External HDD Review

Conclusions

The Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB external disk drive is compact, very well-finished, and flexible.

Most compact external hard drives are hard drives with a USB interface added to their printed circuit boards, i.e., they are not standard laptop hard drives. But the Backup Plus is actually a 2.5” typical laptop hard disk drive, enclosed in a case and connected to a detachable interface. This is a plus, since if the hard drive fails, you can replace it and get a “new” external drive. You can also use the interface to connect a SATA drive to a USB 3.0 port of your computer, for backup purposes, for example.

The performance of the Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB was excellent, outperforming its main competitor, the Toshiba Canvio 3.0 1 TB. Compared to internal hard drives with the same capacity and same rotational speed (5,400 rpm), it was faster in almost all tests.

The Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB is an excellent option if you are looking for a fast, small, compact hard disk drive for backing up your data. It receives our Golden Award.
