Both are freely available, and I used them to measure the sequential read/write speeds of the Backup Plus. Just to provide extra peace of mind that the benchmark results are accurate I also tested the Backup Plus using ATTO Disk Benchmark, version 2.47. The first benchmark I used was the popular CrystalDiskMark software, version 4.1.0.
It provides a clean and simple, yet efficient way of choosing what data you want to backup, while also allowing you to save the contents of your smartphone.To test the Backup Plus for its system performance, I used two different benchmarks on two different PCs. On the whole, Seagate Dashboard is very useful. This does require creating a Seagate account, but it is a painless affair and provides quite a useful function.

Using either an iOS or Android smartphone, users can download the ‘Seagate Backup' app and, provided both the smartphone and computer where the Backup Plus is attached are connected to the same WiFi network, you can then begin to backup photos, videos and mobile contacts. You can even manually select specific folders for extra precision.Īnother nifty feature of Seagate Dashboard is its ability to backup the contents of your mobile device.
Here, users can choose to copy over all or some of their photos, music files, videos and documents. In this case, there is the option of creating a new backup plan. Other users may wish to specify which folders and file types they want to be copied over.

For those just interested in making a backup of all their data and files, the quickest and simplest way of doing things is to use the ‘Protect Now' mode (once you have selected PC Backup, of course.) This simply copies over all your files and folders to the Backup Plus, and just requires a simple click to confirm. Upon opening the Dashboard, users are greeted with 4 main options to choose from, as you can see at the top of this page. Of course, you can ignore all of it and manually copy over your desired folders and files, but that may not be for everybody so I shall detail some different ways of using Seagate Dashboard. It is a simple yet useful piece of kit which allows for a few different ways to back up your data.

The Backup Plus Slim comes with backup software on the drive already, so you can just run the setup application to install Seagate Dashboard on your computer. The bottom of the drive features a large Seagate logo and a few barcodes, but nothing related to the usage of the drive itself. My one qualm here would be that the cable itself could be a bit longer just to provide extra ease-of-use for desktop users, but for laptops it should be fine. My sample is obviously black, but there are also blue, red and silver colour options available.Īt the top edge is the microUSB 3.0 port the supplied 18-inch cable connects from there to your standard USB port on your laptop/desktop. Still, it looks the part and feels durable. The top of the device is made of what seems to be brushed aluminium – but I could not find any product information from Seagate to confirm this. I think it is therefore fair to say that the Backup Plus Slim lives up to its name. It weighs a mere 159 grams – as little as a smartphone – and measures 113.5 x 76 x 12.1mm (LxWxD), meaning it could easily be carried around in a pocket.

Inside is simply the drive itself, an 18-inch USB 3.0 cable and a little quick start booklet.īilled as the ‘Backup Plus Slim', I was expecting a small and light portable drive, and that is certainly what I got. The back of the box includes a picture of the Backup Plus which is ‘to scale' – allowing you to see how thick the drive actually is if you just picked it up in a shop, for instance.
The Backup Plus is housed in a small, cuteish box, which manages to cram a fair amount on to the front without looking overly cluttered.
