Seagate Backup Plus Fast 4TB USB 3.0 Drive Review

Stefan Mileschin · 24th September 2014, 08:04

I have the Seagate Backup Plus Fast 4TB USB 3.0 drive with me. One main point you should you know is that this drive is a 2x 2TB drive in RAID 0 mode. This is something you'll not get to see, especially for a portable storage solution via USB 3.0.

As far as promises goes, Seagate assures that this drive will perform at up to 2x the speed in comparison with other portable hard drives. The best part is that you don't need a power brick/adapter to power it up. But just in case, Seagate provided a USB 3.0 Y-cables. How fast can you expect this drive to be in reality? As far as numbers goes, Seagate says that it can provide transfer speeds of up to 220MB/s.

As always, we'll know if its good or bad as we progress with the review.
