About this product
This Seagate Pushbutton Backup external hard drive offers 400GB of storage capacity with a 7200rpm rotation speed and an 8MB cache. It provides flexible connectivity options through both FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces, making it compatible with a variety of systems. The device is designed for easy backup with its pushbutton feature, providing a straightforward solution for data storage and protection.
Our take
If you're looking for a no-frills external drive with decent capacity for older systems, this Seagate 400GB unit could fit the bill. The 7200 RPM spin speed and 8 MB cache offer a reasonable performance for an HDD of this era. I appreciate the dual interface support, with both FireWire 400 and USB 2.0, which extends its compatibility. The 'Pushbutton Backup' feature is a nice touch for simplifying routine backups. However, the 400GB capacity is quite modest by today's standards, and USB 2.0 is definitely slower than modern interfaces, so don't expect blazing transfer speeds.
