The Seagate Slim is a truly slim portable drive

2013-09-19
hi guy doubles here and this is the all new seated slim purple drive now that's been managed slim drive on the market and this is actually the second from Seagate itself succeeding the oh go flex slim that came out two years ago of all of them Seagate does have my type of slim because take a look here the to drive they are very very thin either drive on the market not so much for example this WD my passport slim right here it could sleep never be because for now is almost double the thickness of the Seagate drive that said the new sigit slim is as slim as is older brother but now is also much shorter that's because it doesn't use the Oh detachable adapter design anymore and that means you cannot use it with any connection type you want such as Biwi Aur isara but just USP at the try support USB 3.0 but also what would you speed 2.0 and all you needed this cable right here to make it work on the inside the new slim drive here houses a 500 gigabyte internal hard drive that's been at 5400 rpm now this is not the fastest spinning speed of a hard drive but in my testing the dry actually very fast offering up 210 megabyte per second of real-world sustained copy speed now that is as fast as any USB portable drive can offer at that speed you can finish the entire 500 gigabyte in just about an hour and a half now the fast performant is not the only cool thing about the new drive here it also comes with very good software con Seagate dashboard dashboard is a great backup solution for home user and also come with software driver to make the drive here work cross-platform for example this one here is pre formatted for Windows but come with driver to make a Mac walk with it both read and write similarly if you buy a sleep for Mike it also come with driver to make any Windows computer to access the Mac drive seamlessly and that means the driver is a great choice for a mix Windows and Mac environment the new Seagate sleep is available in just one capacity of 500 gigabyte and cost just $60 a very good deal if you ask me so one downside though it with just a two year warranty and not a three or five year you can find out more the drive at my full review a calm but the take away is this it is truly a good and slim portable drive I hope that vendors will learn how to call a spade a spade and not naming their product something they're not for the rest of you guys out there do not even think of naming yourself do Angie I know it's tempting but really you're not I already am and that's because I'm don't go and this has been the first look at the Seagate slim portable drive
