About this product

Featuring a 3.5-inch form factor, it connects via a standard USB interface and includes features like Auto Power On/Off.

Its black enclosure offers a sleek, unobtrusive design.
Our take
If you're in the market for a high-capacity, no-frills external drive for your desktop, this 3TB Seagate Backup Plus is a solid option. The 5400 RPM spin speed and USB interface are standard for an HDD, and while not the fastest, the 500MB/s read speed is respectable for an external hard drive. It's compatible with both Mac and PC, which is always a plus for versatility. The 3.5-inch form factor means it's not really portable, but for stationary backup or expanding your home office storage, it gets the job done at a decent price point for the capacity.
