The Backup Plus Slim is the thinner of the two models as it has less storage space, measuring in at 4.5 inches by 3 inches with a thickness of just about half an inch.

The test models I have are in silver, but these also come in black, a light blue color, and red.

For older machines that still have USB-A ports, these hard drives will work well, and functionally, theyre fine with an adapter on a USB-C machine.

Seagate says they can reach transfer speeds of 120MBs, and in my tests on a 2016 MacBook Pro with USB-C, I even saw transfer speeds a little bit higher at about 130MBs.

You can use these with Windows and Mac machines right out of the box without the need to reformat.

Both Mylio and Creative Cloud are optional, so you dont need to sign up for them if youre not interested in those services.

The Backup Plus Portable is also available from Amazon with 4TB of storage priced at 110 and 5TB of storage priced at 125.

I think its a damn shame that Seagate is selling Mac edition external disks with USB-A cable.

These editions should minimally include Micro-B to USB-C cable.

Score: 4 Votes ( Like Disagree ) isomorphic 19 months ago Itd be nice if the review indicated this, but be aware that many of the bigger-storage-size bus-powered USB HDDs are SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording).

That means the drive test shown in the article would not sustain that 130MBs speed.

Even for backups, I would avoid SMR drives if I had any choice in the matter, especially if your backups result in rewriting lots of small files (e.g.

The best usage scenario for SMR drives is for writing data that is read much more often than written, e.g.
