Overview
Not a desktop drive needing a wall plug, this Seagate takes power and data over one USB cable. Windows recognizes it automatically for drag-and-drop backups, and it is listed for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Large capacity powered by a single USB cable makes it easy to carry and plug in anywhere. The missing manufacturer warranty is a real drawback for a drive that holds backups.
Who it's for
Windows users and console gamers needing extra space get a large plug-and-play drive. Buyers who value warranty support should choose a listing that includes it.
Pros and cons
- One cable for power and data
- No software to install
- Works with USB 2.0 ports too
- Light and compact
- No manufacturer warranty
- Mechanical hard drive
- Mac use not described
Performance notes
Speed depends on the port, with the faster USB standard giving full speed and older ports running slower. As a spinning drive, it handles large backups steadily but is slower than an SSD for many small files.
