It might not suit power users but if you’re after a good portable storage option that provides plenty of capacity per dollar, the Seagate BackUp Plus Slim makes a strong case for itself. The form-factor here doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but the performance gets the job done regardless. The Bottom LineĪlthough, in terms of technology, the BackUp Plus Slim can sometimes feel a little quaint and outdated - the utility it provides isn’t. It took 15 minutes and 13 seconds to achieve the same task. This was much faster than our Samsung T5 - which seems to be growing slower in its old age. In term of speed here, we averaged about 125Mbps. When it came to pulling that 35GB folder back onto the Seagate Backup Plus Slim, the process took about 4 minutes and 22 seconds. Accomplishing the same task on the Samsung T5 SSD took 20 minutes and 55 seconds.

Pulling a 35GB folder full of various file-types down from the Seagate to my desktop over USB 3.0 took about 16 minutes and 36 seconds. Read more Seagate's new portable SSDs are as colorful as they are compact
