We tested the Seagate Wireless Plus using DiskSpeed32 and CrystalDiskMark programs, comparing its performance with the Seagate Backup Plus external drive we tested recently.

Error Margin
We adopted a 3% error margin in our tests, meaning performance differences of less than 3% can’t be considered meaningful. Therefore, when the performance difference between two products is less than 3%, we consider them to have similar performance.
