00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:13,679
welcome to my unboxing of the Seagate Backup Plus portable drive it is a

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,640
portable hard drive which means it uses a notebook drive as opposed to a desktop

3
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:22,199
drive in an enclosure all right 2 and 1/2 in not 3 and 1/2 in Easy portable

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:26,720
backup for your Digital Life for PC or Mac now they do have a specific Max q

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,720
but the only real difference seems to be included cables as well as the

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:35,120
formatting of the drive out of the box you can actually reformat it to whatever

7
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:39,960
you need whichever one you buy so don't stress too much about whether you bought

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,120
the PC or the Mac edition for your grandson or granddaughter and you're not

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,239
sure what kind of a fangled computer they actually have don't stress out

10
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:51,760
about that just go ahead get the external hard drive and they can figure out the rest on their own for a pretty

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,399
cool reason and I'll get into that later aha right there upgradeable interface

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,199
even if you buy them totally the wrong thing with totally the wrong interface

13
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,879
they don't actually have to buy a whole new drive to replace it they can just just get a new interface cable plug it

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:09,799
in and they're Off to the Races social media backup yes what makes this a

15
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:11,640
Backup Plus the fact that it already

16
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,000
with the current Seagate software is capable not only of backing up things

17
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:20,200
that are on your computer but also saving photos from Facebook to your

18
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,759
drive so a lot of the time people these days are walking around with their

19
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,119
smartphones and they're all like taking pictures of stuff this is a

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:31,000
simulation um taking pictures of stuff and they're like oh yeah I'm going to

21
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:36,600
upload these to Facebook and so people can like them and uh so what happens a

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,920
lot of the time is those pictures if you don't religiously back up your phone

23
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,719
might never even end up on a computer so how do you back them up what if Facebook

24
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,159
at some point goes IPO in their stock tanks and then they disappear um maybe

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,439
they'll take all your pictures with them I'm just kidding that's probably not going to happen but if it does you can

26
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:00,240
back up all your Facebook photos to this drive with an easy interface so that is

27
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:03,799
pretty handy easily back up all of your other stuff locally and to the cloud

28
00:02:02,119 --> 00:02:07,600
helps you protect all of that good stuff and flexible for all your needs Mac or

29
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,080
PC I think we've harped on that enough it's also very slim so let's go ahead

30
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:16,640
and open it up you got your uh limited warranty there is a

31
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:16,640
warranty on this

32
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:24,720
guy two years there you go twoe limited

33
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:28,599
warranty I wonder what an unlimited warranty would be someone who knows what

34
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,760
an unlimited warranty would be should like post under the com comments and

35
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,160
tell us about an unlimited warranty oh slick is actually pointing at something

36
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,159
that has an unlimited warranty snap on sorry about that guys battery are rather

37
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:43,920
battery uh memory card was full so Snap-on tools have an unlimited warranty

38
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,440
I could literally take this thing and like break it over the side of the table

39
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,800
and take it to them and they would give me a new one so there that is an unlimited warranty he's right all right

40
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:59,040
what do we got in terms of cables included we have a usb3 cable excellent

41
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,280
what else we got going on here well we have an external drive dve so this is a

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,640
500 gig Drive however it is available in a variety of capacities and we're going

43
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:11,080
to go ahead and remove the plastic wrap that is so hard to

44
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,200
remove there we go all right so we got like a matte finish going on on the

45
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,200
bottom we got like a shiny finish going on on the side we got a brushed finish

46
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:24,440
going on on the top which looks Just Deadly looks awesome can you see how

47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,040
awesome it looks slick says no there we

48
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,560
go that is what it looks like I'm looking at the camera over his shoulder

49
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,159
okay this is what I mean about easy upgrade interfaces so this is just a

50
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:40,120
SATA interface back here very cool so I am personally a huge fan of their glex I

51
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,120
don't know if they're even are they even calling it that on this drive I don't

52
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:50,560
think they're even calling it that but this is what it was originally called was glex and glex was just um swappable

53
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:53,879
modular interfaces so you go ahead the chipset actually resides in here so you

54
00:03:52,360 --> 00:04:00,519
go ahead and just click that in there now it's a usb3 drive because you've got

55
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,239
a usb3 TSA chipset in there there you go

56
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:06,319
take this off throw something else on there maybe you got EA maybe you got

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,760
fire wire it doesn't matter just clip that on and you're good to go so that is

58
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,920
my unboxing of the Backup Plus Slim drive from Seagate actually here let's

59
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,239
check out how slim it is so I have a like a third party external hard drive

60
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,040
going on over here and I thought this one was pretty

61
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:28,800
slim and pretty Sleek so uh this is a zman one let's go ahead and have a look
