Handy Drive

Seagate Backup Plus 1TB 2.5" USB 3.0 Blue Portable Hard Drive
Seagate Backup Plus 1TB 2.5" USB 3.0 Blue Portable Hard Drive

Pros: Just works right out of the box. I have three of these and no problems. the USB3 interface is very fast. Plenty of storage and great portability. No need for en external power source to carry around.

Cons: Would like a slightly longer cable for better positioning. Maybe 3 feet.

Overall Review: The unit is a little lightweight. If you're going to leave this plugged in as a permanent backup, I suggest velcro to hold it into place. If using portable, you may want to stick a couple of rubber feet on it.

Pros: I've built a lot of computers over the last 30 years of being a tech. This time I just grabbed a few PCs to give a couple of office assistants some new hardware. The specs on this machine are decent, but the parts they used were pretty cheap. The motherboard was halfway decent and the price was right.

Cons: The case itself is probably the lightest I've ever seen. There were multiple mounting tabs inside that were bent, around the drives and around the power supply. The back of the case of the DVD drive was pryed open slightly by being jammed into the case against one of those bent tabs. The power supply case was the same way. The CPU fan was not plugged into the motherboard. There was no backup media or any way to create it. The keyboard, mouse and speakers were absolute garbage. Many rattling plastic pieces inside them.

Overall Review: We were a little skeptical of this brand when we were shopping as they were new and had no feedback, but for the price we decided to give this company a try. I hope I don't regret this decision and the computers last a few years. I would not buy anymore. This company needs to get off their can and up their quality and Quality Control.
