• Sizing:
Compared to WD My Passport Ultra 2TB Portable, Seagate is very slim. If we stack 2 Seagate Slim Plus, that much thicker is WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB Portable(NOT WD 1 TB model).
Compared to an iPhone 5 size, the Seagate drive is a little bit thicker(2-3 mm), shorter length wise(1cm) and wider width wise(2 cm).
• Connectivity:
This drive uses a standard blue USB 3.0 cable(included) that is backwards compatible to USB 2.0 meaning that you can plug it into any Mac or PC.
And the cable is not much flexible like WD HDD’s. But it feels premium quality than WD.
• Speed:
This is result when I compared with Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB, WD Elements 1TB Portable, WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable.

• MAC Compatibility:
There is a Free Paragon NTFS driver on Seagate website. You can run any NTFS storage peripherals when you install this driver.
• Free bundled software:
The drive includes helpful backup software and a free two-year 200GB subscription to Microsoft OneDrive online storage.
• Dislikes:
There are NO rubber grip pads under the HDD case. So, it is easy to slip from table/desk & doesn’t reduce vibrations(HDD don’t have any vibration or noise now).
NO rubber pads on 4 corners inside the case of HDD. So, doesn’t survive small drops.
• Compared to WD:
If u want 2TB HDD & exactly what the word "SLIM" means, go for Seagate. For 1TB, always go for WD My Passport Ultra.
Because, WD My Passport Ultra 2TB is little bit thicker than WD Elements 1TB. If you don’t care about size, go for WD Passport.
All WD HDD’s have rubber pads on 4 corners inside the case & rubber grips under the HDD case. It will help to survive small drops, slip from table/desk & reduce vibrations.
• WARNING:
Remember, this is a electronic product. We can’t predict any of these HDD’s will work fine for how many days, months or year. First we get these things we will use very carefully about 2-3 months, afterwards we use roughly. If you are a rough user & always plug this on computer & share this HDD’s with friends, any of these won’t survive very long if they are the best company in portable HDD or best reviewed one. I suggest, for more secure your data, always upload your important data’s on one or two Cloud Drives.Please use the Like button if you like this review
