Sam_C@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/20/14	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:The base is hard to disconnect Pros:QuietPrice when on sale Comment: I find the design of the swappable base unnecessary. It just adds an additional failure point. Only buy this if it's on sale.

TheBigTroll1226@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/16/13	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:too bad 3.5 inch drives have to be powered by a wall adaptor and not usb. oh well Pros:-quiet and pretty quick-lots of storage for not that much-small power brick and minimalistic shell Comment: A great hard drive for backing up data. dont see anything wrong with it and windows will easily recognize the drive once plugged in

Tony_D@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 08/14/13	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:proprietary USB cable, no power switch Pros:Great speed, easy installation, whisper quiet, lots of storage Comment: Have only had this drive a short time so I cannot say how reliable it is in the long run, but this seems like a great drive, especially considering that it is cheaper than the internal variants.It is very fast and I can sustain 160MB+/sec transfer rates. If you have issues with the speed of this drive then it's your pc or you are using USB2.0I would have rated the drive 5 stars, but there is no power switch (very minor issue), but it also uses a proprietary USB cable...so if you lose the included cable, good luck finding another. I really expect more from Seagate than that.Also you do NOT need a different cable for USB 2.0 as reported above.Otherwise I love the drive and highly recommend it.

Wizdem@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/09/13	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:Average drive speed... not as fast as other drives.

Matt_G@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/30/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:No power switchNo side non-stick pads Pros:Reasonably fast with USB 3.0 connectionGreat price Comment: Snagged it on sale for less than $100, which is a great deal for a 3TB drive. Plug and play with no other effort necessary was nice. Case feels solid, but I would've liked a power switch, and some non-slip pads so that I could place is on its side or neatly stack with other peripherals. Knocking it over could destroy the drive, which is easy if you have a few of them on your desk (domino effect).
scottc@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/26/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:-2 years warranty instead of 3/5 of the past Pros:-Speed!-Universal USB3.0 dock Comment: Good fast harddrive. Can sustain 160MB sequential write speeds. The included universal USB3.0 dock is a plus, but I am unsure about the reliability of these drives, they do get hot as the enclosure is made of plastic and not much ventilation.
Elvis_C@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/25/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:none Pros:lots space to work with Comment: I like this drive, it has lots of space, I�m just keeping downloading crap to max it but it will take a very long time doing that.
Mike_W@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/23/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:none Pros:spacious and really fast Comment: I bought this to replace my old hard drive, and it works great so far. You also get lots of space to work with, and its pretty cheap as well.
Psygineer@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/16/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:Slower than expected, no power switch Pros:Worked well right out of the box, plenty of space Comment: I would have liked it to have a power switch, however I can't complain for the price. Once thing I am not certain of is if it is just stuck in USB2.0 speeds (despite being plugged in to a USB3.0 port with the provided blue USB cable), or if there is something I need to do to adjust the speed of it as my other external hard drive (2.0) is faster than this drive. If you are looking for a 3TB hard drive, this one works well so far.
Bored Now@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/29/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:Loose fitting usb on unit, 47" cable, would tip over easy no stand. Pros:3TB, $99.99, 2yr warranty. Comment: Box states 5' cable but it's 4'. USB 2.0 gives 24-30 MB/s. Unit has no real stand so I straped it standing upwards to a 3/4" x 6" x 8" piece of plywood. Skip the software.2.72TB for $99.99 good enough.

Guan_W@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/23/12	Seagate Backup Plus Desktop Drive 3TB 3.5IN USB3.0 External Hard Drive - Black Cons:USB 3.0 proprietary port on the case. Don't lose the included cable. Pros:3TB capacity. Comment: Good backup drive! Can be used with a Thunderbolt connector(needs to buy separate adapter). Would prefer that they used standard USB port for the enclosure case.
