#Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use portable# This drive can easily slip into a front pants pocket and is barely noticeable in a commuter bag. It's compact, measuring about 0.5 by 4.5 by 3 inches (HWD) and weighing 6 ounces. That's almost identical to the Toshiba Canvio Slim II (1TB) ($99.00 at Amazon) and much slimmer than the Seagate Backup Plus Fast.
It's also slimmer and smaller than the former Editors' Choice Seagate Backup Plus, since the new drive doesn't need to support the Universal Storage Module (USM) interface. The USM interface gave the older drive more flexibility and support for additional interfaces, like FireWire and Thunderbolt, but it made for a thicker and longer chassis. Most new laptops and desktop PCs have at least one USB 3.0 port, eSATA and FireWire are fading legacy ports, and Thunderbolt only appears on Macs and some workstation-class Windows systems. Thus, the drive supports USB 3.0 via a detachable 18-inch cable. You can use the NTFS-formatted drive right away as a drag-and-drop backup drive, or reformat it to HFS+ and use it with Time Machine on a Mac. Seagate includes an installer for its Dashboard program, which can back up all your document files on a Windows PC. It doesn't back up program and operating system files, so business users may need a more specialized software package for full Windows system backup, like Acronis TrueImage. #Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use full# On your Mac or Windows PC, the Dashboard program has added functionality for your social networks and phone.
Once you install a free app on your Android or Apple phone, you'll be able to set up automatic backups to your drive over Wi-Fi or the cloud. #Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use install# Just make sure your computer is on with the drive mounted, and photos and videos will automatically backup to the drive. #Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use portable#.#Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use full#.#Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use install#.#Seagate backup plus slim 2tb how to use for mac#.
