Seagate 4TB Backup Plus Portable HDD (Blue Colour) $149 @ Officeworks

160

Great price for local store/warranty. I find this drive to be slightly quicker on read compared to the Seagate Expansion equivalent and much faster when transferring large amounts (TB+)

This Seagate Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive is perfect for keeping your important files stored and organised. It comes ready to go with automatic backup functionality from the Seagate Dashboard, so you can protect your documents, photos, videos and more against loss of data.
The compact hard drive design means you can easily carry it on the go.
This hard drive comes with a large 4 TB capacity so there is plenty of room to store and backup your videos, photos, music, documents and more.
The hard drive comes ready to go with your Windows PC and you can install the NTFS driver to also use the drive with your Mac.
It connects to your computer via USB 3.0 for ultra fast data transfers.
This drive is powered directly from the USB connection so you don't need any additional batteries or power cables.
It comes with access to the free Seagate Mobile Backup app for your smartphone so you can backup data from your device onto your hard drive or to the cloud.
It has a blue design so you can match your hard drive to your other accessories and easily identify which is yours.

They are possibly clearing this line make way for the so called 'slim' version

      Different model: Backup plus vs Expansion.

    I've used a bunch of these and the 5TB version over the years for work. Never had an issue and get good, consistent read/write speeds. Shipped them all over the place, and never had a complaint. I would never buy the Expansion drives again - they are terribly slow.

    As a side note for the interested, I have had terrible experiences with the smaller Toshiba portable drives. I've had a good experience with a bunch of 3TB and 4TB Toshiba internal storage drives, but wouldn't go the portable drives again.

  • I just checked the slim version and it's even larger than this one!

    78W x 114.5D x 20.5H mm

    vs slim:
    80W x 115.3D x 20.9H mm

    • How stupid is that. I think it's just a marketing term with the HDD in a new case

  • anyone know if these are shuckable?
