About this product

The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch is a 1TB portable HDD in white, featuring both USB and USB-C interfaces, with a USB 3.0 interface specified. It has a 2.5-inch form factor, a 7200 RPM rotation speed, and a 2MB cache. This drive boasts a read speed of 500MB/s and a transfer rate of 40 Mbps, with USB-Powered and Removable features. It is compatible with laptops.

Our take

This Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch provides 1TB of portable storage with some commendable specifications. The 7200 RPM rotation speed is a nice touch for an HDD, indicating faster performance than typical 5400 RPM drives. The listed 500MB/s read speed sounds impressive, but the accompanying 40 Mbps transfer rate (equivalent to 5MB/s) seems contradictory and suggests a potential bottleneck, likely related to the 'USB' interface mentioned alongside 'USB-C'. Being USB-powered and having both USB and USB-C interfaces adds convenience for laptop users. If the 500MB/s read speed is accurate and consistently achievable, it's a great value for an HDD, but the 40 Mbps transfer rate is concerning and needs clarification.
