So what’s different? First off, the latest edition offers a 1-year Mylio Create plan in addition to a 2-month Adobe CC Photography membership, whereas the previous edition only offered the latter. This alone is worth the slight increase in price from the 2016 edition. A potential downside is that the latest edition is slightly larger than the previous. When we say slightly, we mean that you likely can’t even tell with the naked eye. The older edition is 4.51 x 3.07 x 0.81 inches, where the newer edition is 4.54 x 3.15 x 0.82 inches. Though the difference is minute, it would still be nice if the drive got smaller (even microscopically) instead of larger. Interestingly enough, though, the newer model is nearly half the weight as the 2016 edition, so that’s a major plus. When it comes to performance, Seagate didn’t quote read/write speeds on the drive. Seagate Backup Plus Portable 5TB Specifications CapacityĪvailable SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port (required for USB 3.0 transfer speeds or backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports at USB 2.0 speeds) The 2019 Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive comes in 4TB and 5TB capacities and has an MSRP of $109.99 and $125.88, respectively. There’s generally not a whole lot to say when it comes to design for portable hard drives. Even still, Seagate does a great job in giving the Backup Plus Portable a modern look with its textured, polished aluminum finish. This particular drive offers three different colors to choose from – black, silver, and light blue. On the front of the drive, you’ll find the Seagate branding, as well as an indicator light. Flipping the drive over will show a label containing information such as regulatory compliances, part number, and capacity. The only other thing that would really be noteworthy here is that this model is slightly bigger than its predecessor, though, as you’d expect with portable drives, it’s still small enough to carry around. To test the performance of the LaCie Mobile Drive, we used the BlackMagic disk speed test on a current generation MacBook Air as well as leverage a Lenovo ThinkStation 920 for Windows testing.
