Review: Seagate Backup Plus for Mac 1TB drive with USB 3.0 and more


Tags :




The amount of things I have been getting for review increases, but the Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive for Mac (STBW1000900) was a surprise that you should look into adding to your arsenal.  Not  only did it perform well and work seamlessly with Time Machine, but now includes automated social network backups.

The provided USB 3.0 cable is a bit short but is backwards compatible with 2.0 as well. It worked with an older and newer Mac as with no issues. But plan on keeping it close to the machine.

The included social media backup strategy was excellent. You could set the drive when plugged into the computer to check Facebook and Flickr for new photos since it last connected and to manually or automatically download and store images and videos you placed online. The reverse was also true where you can upload to Facebook, Flickr or YouTube right from the drive dashboard.

This makes backing up your social life even easier and allows it to work seamlessly in the background. I know many people who send photos right to Facebook but never download them from the phone and could possibly lose them. There is no guarantee social media sites will be there for you tomorrow.
