00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:13.679
welcome to my unboxing of the Seagate Backup Plus portable drive it is a

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:17.640
portable hard drive which means it uses a notebook drive as opposed to a desktop

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

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

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.720
but the only real difference seems to be included cables as well as the

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.120
formatting of the drive out of the box you can actually reformat it to whatever

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:39.960
you need whichever one you buy so don't stress too much about whether you bought

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.120
the PC or the Mac edition for your grandson or granddaughter and you're not

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.239
sure what kind of a fangled computer they actually have don't stress out

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

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.399
cool reason and I'll get into that later aha right there upgradeable interface

00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.199
even if you buy them totally the wrong thing with totally the wrong interface

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

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:09.799
in and they're Off to the Races social media backup yes what makes this a

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:11.640
Backup Plus the fact that it already

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:16.000
with the current Seagate software is capable not only of backing up things

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:20.200
that are on your computer but also saving photos from Facebook to your

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.759
drive so a lot of the time people these days are walking around with their

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:28.119
smartphones and they're all like taking pictures of stuff this is a

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:31.000
simulation um taking pictures of stuff and they're like oh yeah I'm going to

00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:36.600
upload these to Facebook and so people can like them and uh so what happens a

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.920
lot of the time is those pictures if you don't religiously back up your phone

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

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:50.159
at some point goes IPO in their stock tanks and then they disappear um maybe

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

00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:00.240
back up all your Facebook photos to this drive with an easy interface so that is

00:01:58.039 --> 00:02:03.799
pretty handy easily back up all of your other stuff locally and to the cloud

00:02:02.119 --> 00:02:07.600
helps you protect all of that good stuff and flexible for all your needs Mac or

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

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:16.640
and open it up you got your uh limited warranty there is a

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:16.640
warranty on this

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:24.720
guy two years there you go twoe limited

00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:28.599
warranty I wonder what an unlimited warranty would be someone who knows what

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:32.760
an unlimited warranty would be should like post under the com comments and

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.160
tell us about an unlimited warranty oh slick is actually pointing at something

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.159
that has an unlimited warranty snap on sorry about that guys battery are rather

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:43.920
battery uh memory card was full so Snap-on tools have an unlimited warranty

00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:47.440
I could literally take this thing and like break it over the side of the table

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

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:59.040
what do we got in terms of cables included we have a usb3 cable excellent

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

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:06.640
500 gig Drive however it is available in a variety of capacities and we're going

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:11.080
to go ahead and remove the plastic wrap that is so hard to

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

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

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:24.440
going on on the top which looks Just Deadly looks awesome can you see how

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.040
awesome it looks slick says no there we

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:30.560
go that is what it looks like I'm looking at the camera over his shoulder

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:35.159
okay this is what I mean about easy upgrade interfaces so this is just a

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

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

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

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:53.879
modular interfaces so you go ahead the chipset actually resides in here so you

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

00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:02.239
a usb3 TSA chipset in there there you go

00:04:00.519 --> 00:04:06.319
take this off throw something else on there maybe you got EA maybe you got

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

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:14.920
my unboxing of the Backup Plus Slim drive from Seagate actually here let's

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

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.040
going on over here and I thought this one was pretty

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

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.120
