Thin to Simple Mobile Storage Solution - Seagate to Lightweight Mobile Hard Drive (Also on Mobile Hard Drive Selection Guide)

June 13, 2022

Hi, everybody! I am Neo.

In fact, this category of mobile hard disk drives has reached a stage of full competition today, and it is more of a stage of price, spell design, and fight service. So this Seagate to Ultra slim mobile hard drive brought today, in addition to introducing the product itself, also took the opportunity to chat with everyone about the purchase strategy of mobile hard disk.

I. How to choose a removable hard disk?

Looking at the current mobile hard disk market, in fact, the mainstream market has somewhat solidified. 2.5 inches, 5400RPM speed, 1T or 2T capacity, USB 3.0 interface, 400 or 600 price, almost all. (The 4T, 5T big house is really inconvenient to move!) So when we mentioned the mobile hard disk, it was almost the following heap:

Basically, it is a monochrome metal/plastic box based on black, red, and blue.

So how can you play as a manufacturer?

The first is the price war, almost the same thing, and I have the opportunity to sell cheaper products at low cost. As a result, everyone saw that small and medium manufacturers fell one by one. Even the giants all withdrew. Now there is the Warrior WD. The dust settled price war has also stabilized.

The second is to ask for high, Thunderbolt, SDD, what to use for me! However, this also requires that all of the user's own computers support the corresponding SDD main hard drives and interfaces, and the overall cost of use is rising, which is not what mainstream users are willing to.

The third is functionality. As a mobile hard disk, the biggest feature is protection. Among them, works by Seagate’s LaCie are most respected and are a favorite of many photographers. The second is the enhancement of software functions, what cloud storage data recovery, and the use of automatic backup for me to simplify the user's work is value. Finally, there is an unlimited storage solution. Seagate WD has its own product. Apple's own router with hard disk should be an upgraded version, and NAS is the ultimate solution.

Fourth, the beauty of design and design is itself value. As a mobile hard disk, almost thin represents half of the successful design. Adding metal materials, coloring techniques, and graphic designs are just as competitive as almost any daily necessities. For example, the following Seagate 2015 launch of the world's "Seven" mobile hard disk, only 7mm thickness, the top manufacturing process is amazing. Unfortunately, only 500GB, so that users often use the feeling of not enough, so sales are not very good.

Having said so much, we have seen that in fact, top users have already had clear requirements:

The high performance of the computer configuration itself has burst, naturally only SSD version of the mobile hard disk.

Professional users seeking safety, such as outdoor photographers, have high data value and inevitably bumped and beat the natural LaCie Rugged.

But for mainstream users such as Neo, they also copy the data from their home computer to the company’s computer, copy the photos when they’re traveling, or copy and rip films between friends. For speed requirements, USB 3.0 is enough, and the capacity is just 1T or 2T. The place where you need to reflect your personality lies in the sense that the layer is not mediocre.

Seagate Seven is certainly good but the practicality of the 500G is not enough, but today the Ultra Slim offers a mainstream choice of 1T/2T under the light and excellent appearance. It seems that all the joints have been opened up, which is a bit unattainable. However, I can't count how the hard drive’s strength is. We’ll unveil it together.

Two. Unpacking analysis

▼ First brought today is the "China Gold" 1T model, the packaging itself is still more carefully, revealing one side can directly see the color of the hard disk.

▼ The following describes the 2-year free 200GB OneDrive space that comes with the hard disk.

▼ There are anti-counterfeit labels on the top and bottom of the box to ensure that the genuine products are properly prepared!

▼ After opening the package is still relatively simple, the hard disk itself, a manual. But here we have to confess about why the Chinese products are only available in English. Although there is no one to see, we still hope that the details will be strengthened.

▼ Fortunately, mobile hard disk basically do not need to read the instructions, the hard disk itself is fixed

▼ The accessory supplied with the disk is a standard USB 3.0 data cable for mobile hard disks.

▼ The texture of the thread is general and some are hard. If you can change to nylon material like pull!

▼ The Seagate logo in the lower right corner

The corresponding upper left corner is the status light.

▼ The lighting effect is like this, Wen Yu is jade.

▼ The thickness is great, and there is little room to remove the socket and top cover.

▼ At the bottom is a large logo with information on the lower right corner. Speculation is ultrasonic assembly technology, so it is naturally not a single screw.

▼ The information section has done a collection process to prevent grinding during use. In place!

▼ 9.6mm thickness is really great!

▼ We compare it with a standard-sized mobile hard disk. It's almost right to look right.

▼ From the side you can see the difference.

▼ Hold the hand and listen to ergonomics.

▼ Ultra Slim's design sense can be said to have both business and technology sense. That is, it is not avant-garde, nor does it seem mediocre.

summary:

The biggest feature of Seagate to Ultra Slim lies in its ultra-thin and ultra-light design. In addition, the wind-like metal top cover not only has individuality, but also increases the grip of the grip. It can be said that at the same time it is easy to use.

Compared with the entry-level large plastic + monochrome design of mobile hard disk, the appearance of the texture is very obvious.

What can be further improved is: data line material and packaging design.

Three. Performance testing

We know that the volume and performance of digital products is always a pair of happy lovers. Beautiful designs often represent compromises in performance. The thin and light byproducts of the MacBook is that performance cannot compete with game titles such as Alienware Aliens. So will this Seagate Ultra Slim fall into the same dilemma? Let's take a look together.

First of all, the performance of the hard disk depends mainly on the thickness. The thickness is small, the space is insufficient, the capacity and the rotational speed all have to drop, otherwise the heat problem data may not guarantee.

This is why the previously mentioned Seagate Seven only has a capacity of 500G. Later, a short-term upgrade of the 750G must have been the limit of the 5mm disk module.

The Ultra Slim according to the above description of the US and Asia information page, estimated that chose a compromise solution, choose 7mm thickness to achieve 1T and 2T capacity +5400RPM speed. That's the next Neo I came to measure.

▼ At first, plug in the computer will show the appearance of the hard disk icon, and the color is also corresponding. A small detail is a floor higher than the ordinary mobile hard disk, find the disk can save a few seconds.

▼ Comes with a registered shortcut and warranty for Mac and Windows.

▼ Registration is very simple and the serial number will automatically correspond.

▼ However, the data protection function requires additional payment, so skip ahead.

▼ In the near future, the e-mail will also be confirmed by email. After forgetting the serial number, you can check it back here. Of course, it is generally not used.

▼ The hard disk information is as follows, and the power-on time is of course 0 hours. 5400RPM no problem.

▼ In terms of speed, reading and writing have reached 130MB/s, and it must be said that it is really fast!

Summary: The registration is excellent. Ultra Slim really didn't give us regrets that couldn't be used. It can be said that both value and strength are equal!

IV. Software introduction

▼ The software comes with Seagate Dashboard. There are four main functions: PC backup, mobile backup, social networking and restore.

▼ PC backup is naturally a full backup of the computer. Of course, first of all your main hard disk can not be bigger than mobile hard disk! Fortunately, in the SSD era, everyone's laptop hard drive space is generally 240-512, so it is enough.

▼ In addition to a full backup, you can set your own backup disk (such as photos, big sister!), it is still very convenient.

▼ Mobile backup is to install the corresponding app on the mobile phone to achieve seamless cloud synchronization. This is more like a cloud disk like Dropbox.

▼ The social part is automatically uploading and downloading pictures and videos.

▼ However, .

▼ restore, of course, is to restore the previous backup of the local file!

▼ There is also a cloud backup feature, though. .

Summary: In general, Seagate Dashboard's functionality is very convenient. After a simple setup, it can be used without a brain to automatically back up the software. After all, the core of data protection is "backup, backup, backup!" If a fully automated solution is implemented, it can indeed improve the experience and data security.

V. Summary and purchase advice

On the whole, Seagate’s ultra-lightweight Ulta Slim mobile hard drive can be said to be an excellent all-around product on the market today.

advantage:

Ultra-thin and ultra-light, only 9.6mm, 135g.

Excellent speed, reading and writing 130MB/s.

Outstanding appearance, good design.

Automatic backup and other software functions are good.

Comes with 200GB One Drive for 2 years.

(Egg: Thanks to its ultra-thin design, it can be used to upgrade the built-in hard drive of the PS4 game console!)

Disadvantages:

1TB version pricing is slightly higher.

It can be said that pricing, Seagate Ultra Slim's 2TB version is more worthy of recommendation. Because at present: 1TB is priced at 569 yuan; 2TB is priced at 759 yuan. An increase of 30% of the investment, a one-time increase in capacity, or a very high value.

Competing goods, the front also talked about, the pursuit of the ultimate cost-effective option can be selected entry products, the protective value or the speed of the higher value of the friends can choose the corresponding high-end expensive products. For most mainstream users, if you want to find a thin, high-value, fast, and recognizable mobile hard disk, Seagate Ultra Slim can be said to be the best choice.
