When you are travelling about and you forget to bring its respective data cable, you’ll be glad to know that the ubiquitous micro-USB 2.0 cable is backwards compatible and plugs into the drive’s micro-USB 3.0 connector without an issue. The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim sports a micro-USB 3.0 connector and is thankfully bundled with a suitable cable too. Beyond that, you’ll have to pay a subscription fee directly to Microsoft. In case you’re wondering, Seagate is offering two years of cloud storage. You can never have enough storage these days, so we’ll gladly take up their offer (which has a value of U$95). These new drives will also be among the first from Seagate to also bundle in 200GB of Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage for further backup needs and complements the physical storage. This is notably slimmer than their previous Backup Plus Slim at 12.1mm. Both drives are 9.6mm thin and utilize Seagate’s 7mm thin hard drives within. The new Backup Plus Ultra Slim (quite a mouthful), will soon be available in two capacity points, 1TB and 2TB options. Seagate continues the momentum with an all new line of drives that are designed to look fashionably good and are thinner than before.

You might remember that we reviewed their Backup Plus 4TB portable drive recently. Not too long ago, Seagate upped the drive storage capacity game for their desktop and portable drives. That's thanks to one's reasonable expectations of a product's usability & lifetime.Seagate’s new portable drives got slimmer and sport a new design ID Oh, look! Here's someone who says I should buy 2x4TB HDDs and use only half of that because the other one is just to make copies of my files, all while SPENDING TWICE AS MUCH ON THE SAME SHIT. There are 3rd party recovery services as well. Then you never would have needed expensive recovery services. Their plan is to sell super cheap hardware, then make tons of money off recovery services that cost an arm & a leg.Hard drives fail. decisions for people you hate, buy them Seagate hardware. REMEMBER: If you frequently fix computers and make I.T. Good design, too bad it's Seagate hardware.

I'm done with this company and it's problematic producs they don't stand behind. Have multiple other drives lying around here.

A Seagate HDD? No thanks, I still remember how they asked me for over $1000 in order to recover data from a 7200.14 2TB Barracuda that literally did nothing but sit in a case - all less than a year into warranty (they also asked me for the serial in order to invalidate the warranty with me on the damn phone - I can't believe it to this day I've been through this nightmare with Shitgate!). 18637390 said:DaglesJ and Thudervore have just read my thoughts.
