welcome to my final unboxing of seagate's new and improved series of
0:11
external 2 and 1/2 in storage drives so
0:14
I showed you guys The Backup Plus and the Backup Plus for Mac well this is the
0:19
expansion portable drive and what makes it expansion is that it is add-on
0:25
storage for your PC so as you may or may not have figured out so far this is the
0:30
nonb Backup Plus version so it doesn't have the Facebook backup that the backup
0:34
plus one has as well as potentially um
0:37
more social media backup features in the future like YouTube and whatever else
0:41
this one is just your basic expansion
0:45
more storage and that's about it the instructions are fairly
0:48
straightforward get the things and plug them in okay limited warranty it has a
0:54
one-ear warranty and those are the terms and
0:59
they they have actually updated their shell so they're using a different type
1:03
of enclosure just a plastic enclosure it's got like kind of a angular sort of
1:08
look to it pretty bog standard as far as
1:12
uh USB 3 2 and 1/2 in enclosures go this is a 500 gig version although it is
1:16
available in a variety of capacities it comes with a usb3 cable now unlike some
1:21
of their existing or like uh unlike some of their previous products there's no
1:25
modular interface on this one this is a USB 3 Drive comes with a usb3 TOA
1:30
chipset inside it there's no uh there's no like conversion kit like we've seen
1:35
on their glex products for example I don't think I actually have one lying
1:40
around in here unfortunately but if you guys have seen almost any of my videos
1:44
where I do benchmarks you'll know what I'm talking about cuz I use it for my steam drive and that way I can use
1:49
whatever interface I want this is just USB 3 this is just basic and it just
1:53
looks a little bit something like that so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at seates
