I just wrote the backup date and computer on the box and threw it in a drawer – it didn't take up much spaces and I know I won’t be looking for cables when I have to back up again. The small, compact cardboard box the drive came in is perfect storage for me. Overall Review: As most of the backup drives I've previously used are larger form factors. This is such a non-issue, probably other reviewers will be complaining about it being too long.

The cable was very short – probably about 1.5 feet, not enough to plug into the USB on the Mac Pro and let it sit on the top. Enterprise drives usually cost significantly more. I would subtract an egg for this but for the price that wouldn't be fair. Like I said earlier – at least it’s not one year warranty. I think it’s worth complaining about as the loss of data is usually catastrophic for most people and most people don’t backup a backup. One of the main features claimed I haven’t tried so I can’t comment on but it’s worth mentioning that the ability to backup Apple and Google devices (tablets, phones, etc.) via Wi-Fi using Seagate’s application.Ĭons: I would have been really ecstatic if the drive had a 5 year warranty, but a 5 year warranty is usually only found on enterprise drives made to use in servers where high reliability (and higher cost) is the norm. The drive case is fairly sturdy and the drive feels like it could withstand some abuse – though I didn’t abuse it. The drive itself has only a micro USB 3 connector. The drive came with a cable with micro B USB 3 on one side and standard USB A connector on the other side. It should also be noted that the drive is USB 3 and the Mac I used was USB 2 so even though the mechanical drive(s) themselves probably caused most of the latency – not using USB 3 contributed. As this is a mechanical drive, not an SSD, so the speed is okay for a backup drive where it’s usually not a time critical issue. It backed up 383 GBs in 5 hours and 30 minutes or about 1,160 MB per minute – or about 19.3 MB per minute. I used it on a 8 year old Intel 4 processor Mac Pro running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard ) and an older version of Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner I backed up a 750 GB drive about half full. I used it for it’s advertised purpose and backed up a Mac Pro. The drive seems well suited for its purpose – as solid and rugged small drive that works. Most people care about the data more than the device which holds it – so something that will likely go the distance is worth more than saving a few bucks to almost anyone.
In short the drive will probably last well over 3 years. The reason the warranty period is important is that it is calculated on MTBF – drive manufacturers usually set the warranty period at a period where they feel confident that they will only have a statistically small number returned and it won’t impact their bottom line in a meaningful way. As I have seen backup drives with a warranty as short as a year, I’m more confident in this as the warranty on the STDS2000100 is three years. Time is the real judge of how good the drive is and I can only comment on how it worked now – new just out of the box. Pros: I've worked in the storage industry as a Software/Firmware engineer for about 12 years, there is a lot I don’t know – but I probably have a deeper knowledge than most.
