Seagate Seven 500 GB External HDD Review

Conclusions

In most of our tests, the Seagate Seven was a little slower than a standard hard disk drive of the same capacity connected to an USB 3.0 port. In short, the Seven did not perform exceptionally, but it was not slow at all, for a portable external hard disk drive.
Its capacity of only 500 GB is not a great feature, since there are 1 TB and even 2 TB models that cost less than the Seven. Thus, its main problem is its cost per gigabyte.
Anyway, this is not the focus on this model, which has as main highlights design and portability. In those aspects, it pleased us a lot, because of its toughness and, obviously, its slimness, making it ideal to carry inside a small suitcase, bag, or even a pocket.
Therefore, if you are looking for a slim external hard disk drive to carry around in a small suitcase or even in your pocket, but you don’t need a huge disk space and you don’t care too much about price, the Seagate Seven is a great product.
