FireWire 800 and Thunderbolt adapters can be bought separately. However, if you feel USB 3.0 is ‘slow’ for your work, you can easily swap the USB 3.0 with a better and faster FireWire 800 and Thunderbolt support. On the performance front, the drive supports USB 3.0 out of the box that gives a read/write speed of around 110MB/s and 107MB/s respectively. Seagate’s Backup Plus Desktop also needs to be powered up via an external source and comes with the requisite AC adapter. One of the major differences between is a portable and a desktop drive is the power source – a portable one can be powered by a USB port whereas you’ll need an external power source to power the desktop drive. The bottom side of the drive is detachable that supports different interfaces. The Backup Plus Desktop drive starts from 1TB storage and is available in four different SKUs up to 4TB.ĭesign-wise, the Seagate Backup Plus Desktop HDD features a glossy finish that attracts a decent amount of fingerprint smudges and vents placed on the side for dissipating heat from the drive. The portable Backup Plus drives max out at 1TB and this is where the Backup Plus Desktop drive steps in with more storage. Now we’re taking Seagate’s desktop offering for a spin that promises the same Backup Plus advantages with a humongous local storage of 3TB. We also reviewed the portable 1TB Backup Plus drive in September last year and found it a decent offering if you considered your social network data ‘save-worthy’. Seagate introduced the Backup Plus lineup last year that allowed users to backup content from and upload to their favourite social networks.
