Excellent price per TB, Extremely portable, Great Performance, Easy-to-use management software
Weaker build than Backup Plus Fast
The Seagate Backup Plus Slim is an impressive portable hard drive for its physical size and capacity. Though Seagate did not quote any performance numbers like it did for the Backup Plus Fast, we were not surprised with the results. The Slim delivered...
