Seagate Backup Plus Hub

If you need to pick up some cheap and speedy mass storage, the Seagate Backup Plus Hub (available in 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB) capacities is worth considering—especially if your computer setup could benefit from a pair of easy access USB 3.0 ports.

Whether or not you should get the Seagate Backup Plus Hub would depend on a few factors. The first question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you need 8TB worth of memory. If you aren’t a media professional, chances are, the answer is no. The second question you have to ask yourself is whether you are a serial laptop or desktop user. I would only recommend the Backup Plus Hub for desktop users since it’s actually quite heavy. It’s portable for an 8TB external drive, but portable hard drive would be a better choice for laptop users.

The Seagate 8TB Backup Plus Hub is a very appealing option for anyone that needs a large capacity device to backup their computer, and other devices. It is fast, easy to use, comes with very useful software, and the price is competitive. While testing confirmed it is definitely fast enough to use for frequent access to files you use often, I would say it is best suited for archiving files and the USB 3.0 speeds available will just make the process of getting up to 8TB backed up a quicker operation.
