    Hit & Miss With Seagate

    I have had several Seagate products over the years, their externals in general are not very durable... Internal hard drives I have had great luck with. I bought one for myself and a client, my clients sits on her desk full time and I am confident it will last her years if she never moves it... :)

    This is my 3rd Seagate Backup Drive but this one backed up my computer once but I’ve not been able to do any follow up backups. I don’t know if it’s a faulty drive but at this time I’m not so sure about this product.

    It held the data I put on it. It was however pretty slow and it had the limitation of being only man or only PC which caused a problem when I delivered it to the client. I wouldn't use this brand again as I've used others that worked well between OSs

    I wanted this one because of it's compact size. It works great for a year then it stops working and loses all it's content! It was horrible!

    Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB External HD

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this as a Time Machine backup drive for my father's iMac. This is actually the 2nd Backup Plus Slim that I have bought. I also bought the 1TB drive for my wife's Macbook Air. I just plug this into the USB port on the iMac and I was asked if I wanted to use this as a Time Machine backup. I said yes and then it reformatted it for use on a Mac. It couldn't have been easier. The one thing I don't understand is why the icon on the Mac is not the green Time Machine icon but instead it is a yellow icon, but it is working just fine so I am not concerned about it.

    Won't work from Win 7 to 10

    Of limited use given that Windows 10 doesn’t have the corresponding utility that would transfer software from Window 7. Transferring data from my back-up drive runs much faster and is less complicated.

    I needed a big drive to back up all photos. I have over 8000 pictures of my grandchildren and many trips I have taken. I do not want to lose them.
