Testing the other drives again with NTFS showed similar results for their performance. Performance for the ultra slim was on par with the duet when using the same file system turning in a 90MB/s average when using NTFS. Some investigation turned up this as a result of using NTFS for the ultra slim which is it’s default filesystem. The Ultra slim was reporting much faster times than all of the other drives.
REVIEW SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS ULTRA SLIM 2TB PLUS
As such it was rerun on all available drives(I don’t currently have the 4Tb backup plus on hand). However the test is now performed in powershell and takes advantage of the Measure-Command and robocopy functions. The data set still totals 25.4Gb and contains a wide variety of file types and sizes. Our mixed data performance test has changed a little since the last time we used it. Speeds are as before good for a backup device but not a drive I’d suggest using for a working space for media. There is some variance but that could be chalked up to test to test run variance. There’s a good reason for this since drive used the same internals as the seagate duet. Performance TestingĪ lot of these results look like Deja Vu.
REVIEW SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS ULTRA SLIM 2TB SOFTWARE
Per seagate the dashboard “This software allows the user to perform backups, adjust drive settings, and share (upload) content to social media sites.” Registering the drive in this software is required to claim the Onedrive storage although using it after that isn’t required.
It also mentions the availability of seagate dashboard software. The package is well labeled calling attention to the offering of 200gb of Onedrive storage. Packaging wise as this is not an amazon exclusive these drives have a box designed for retail shelves. The thickness is identical to the duet although the covering and package are different. Physically although the cover has changed the backup plus is virtually unchanged from the duet.
