Seagate 2TB Backup Plus Slim Portable Drive Review

Billed as the ‘Backup Plus Slim', I was expecting a small and light portable drive, and that is certainly what I got.

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. I think it is therefore fair to say that the Backup Plus Slim lives up to its name.

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. Still, it looks the part and feels durable. My sample is obviously black, but there are also blue, red and silver colour options available.

At 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. 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.

The bottom of the drive features a large Seagate logo and a few barcodes, but nothing related to the usage of the drive itself.
