Slim and light portable drive from Seagate
Don’t be put off by Seagate’s name for this hard drive: it’s not just for backups, and perfectly capable of anything you’d want to use external storage for. It also comes with a software bundle, including a year’s access to Mylio for photos, and a four–month Adobe CC Photography plan.
It’s one of the slimmest drives, and is light, making it convenient to pack in a bag. With a range of seven colors available, it will coordinate with anything, so long as you only want 1TB or 2TB of storage. However, it comes with only a single cable to connect its Micro–B socket to a USB–A port on your Mac. Its activity light is small, making it useful but not distracting.
The Seagate performed perfectly on all our tests with both Mac file systems, but was on the slow side, with average read/write speeds of 96/97MB/s falling to an inner read speed of only 65MB/s.
It’s a capable all–rounder. Shop around and you should see it at budget prices, so it’s good value for money.
