The rear has a few more information on the specifications and compatibility in several languages. You also find the important information about the drive on the front, such as capacity and that this is the ultra slim model. The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim drive comes in a simple package that shows the actual drive colour through the transparent part on the side.

Seagate Dashboard, Lyve App, and OneDrive Cloud Services.

You also get 200GB free OneCloud Storage for a two-year period. You get easy Lyve Photo App support as well as Seagate’s Dashboard app for drive monitoring and status.

Seagate also bundles some software with their drives that is free to use. Included is an 46cm (18-inch) USB 3.0 cable for the connection. It is rated for a sequential performance up to 120MB/s which is about what you would get from a modern internal drive. With the USB 3.0 connection and support for UASP, the drive should perform really well despite being a small 2.5-inch drive.

You can also find a few drive information here such as model, product number, serial number, and capacity. The Seagate logo is used to give the bottom a bit more texture than just being a smooth surface which again helps you keeping a grip on the drive.

The bottom of the drive is as simple as the top and it looks like the other Backup Plus drives that we’ve seen. Otherwise, the drive is a fairly simple one with a Seagate logo in one corner and a multi-coloured LED in the other one. The grooved surface should help prevent that. A small drive is a lot easier to drop, and you wouldn’t want to do that to any drive. The top also features a grooved design that makes it easy to hold while it also sets it apart from other drives. The top is silver while the bottom is left black, which gives the drive a nice contrast.

With a size of just 113.5 x 76 x 9.6mm, the drive is highly portable and it will easily fit into your pocket, purse, or bag. The gold colour will match golden Apple devices well while the silver version takes a simpler approach. The Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim portable hard disk drive is also available with a gold finish and in a 2TB capacity version for both colours. The latest Seagate drive in the Backup Plus family is the Ultra Slim drive and today I’m taking a closer look at the 1TB model with a silver finish. Note to designers: Follow the Microsoft Windows design guide and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.Today’s review is especially for the people who like to take their storage with them where ever they go and for those that otherwise need a lot of external capacity in a small form factor. Whether you need to move a few files to another system or do a quick backup, it can never hurt to have a few of them around. My only, exceedingly minor complaint is about the very thin sliders on the file panes, which require far more precision with the mouse than they should. ToolKit does file-level backup very well, and it’s easy to use.

You might consider just keeping the drive backed up (check out our backup software reviews for recommendations), especially considering that the warranty is only two years. Why not just $5 a year, I couldn’t tell you. The price for Seagate’s data recovery service is $10 for two years, or $15 for three years. Note that there is no 100-percent guarantee that data can be recovered from a hard drive, though the success rate is exceedingly high. The online “wizard” also shills online data recovery plans.

Seagate ToolKit is a competent file-level backup utility, but you can skip the the mildly annoying download experience if you’re already set. Both programs are nicely rendered and quite capable, but I’m not a fan of being forced to download essential software or being upsold non-essential software.

You run StartHere.exe to go online to complete a registration process and get your software. Seagate also bundles its ToolKit backup/utility software and a year’s subscription to the Mylio online photo aggregator (from multiple online services such as Facebook, etc.) and organizer. However, there is a Type-A to Type C adapter included for the Micro-B to Type-A cable. The Ultra Touch sports a SuperSpeed Micro-B port on board rather than Type-C.
