Do I even need to tell you how important it is to backup your computer? Just about everyone that owns a computer, or has at least used a computer, knows how easy it is to lose information, or worse, lose your laptop! BACKUP YOUR COMPUTERS!!! Backing up your computer is now easier than even with portable devices that allow you to backup where you previously left off. I have to warn you- if you’ve never backed up your computer before, the first time you do backup may take an hour or more, but each time after that is much quicker. Since I store all my digital photos and documents myself, I run a weekly backup, and with my MacBook, it is so easy to connect it to my Seagate Backup Plus device and let the Time Machine run itself. All my pictures and documents are safe and can easily be transported wherever I go.
I’ve heard of a few brands of backup devices, but Seagate seems to be the one that comes highly recommended. My first storage device was a Seagate, and I haven’t looked back since. I love the quiet, reliable features, and now they have become so much smaller and easier to store and use. Also, storage options have increased beyond gigabytes and on to terabytes- which means more storage for less!
The Seagate Backup Plus was made for the “on the go” person. You have either a Mac or PC option when purchasing, and also have 3 storage amounts to choose from: 500GB, 750GB, or 1TB. Of course, for only $20 more and double the storage, you are better off going with the 1TB option (in my opinion.) Here is what you get with each Seagate Backup Plus Storage device:
- Seagate Dashboard pre-loaded on drive
- NTFS driver for Mac pre-loaded on drive
- USB 3.0 interface adapter
- 18-inch USB 3.0 cable
- Quick start guide
- 2-year limited warranty
The Seagate Backup Plus Portable drive is a great gift for that techy person in your life. Anyone that has a computer can benefit from owning a storage device where they can backup their families memories, as well as important documents. You can find out more by visiting Seagate, as well as connecting with them on Facebook and Twitter. The Seagate Backup Plus Storage device can be purchased at Amazon, Best Buy, and Staples.
It’s so important. I’ve been burned several times and I have a Seagate now because of that.
