Today, we have the 6TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub — one of Seagate's high-capacity portable hard drives. Features and Design Right out of the box, the Seagate Backup Plus Hub dashes out with an elegant and stylish look - featuring a glossy finish on the sides and front, and an etched pentagon-pattern on the rear, bottom, and top exterior of the hard drive. On the front we also see 2 USB 3.0 ports for device charging, and an engraved Seagate logo on the upper left corner alongside a matte finish. Despite being glossy on the sides, it also doesn't catch fingerprints as quickly as other glossy finishes. Also, unlike most external hard drives, the Seagate Backup Plus Hub requires additional external power. We are unsure if there are reasons behind Seagate's decision of having an etched pentagonal-pattern on the design, as it clearly isn't for exhausts or anything related to cooling. Benchmarks In our benchmarks we tested the Seagate Backup Plus in read/write situations of various softwares, files, and games. Software The highlight of the Seagate Backup Plus Hub, and all of their products is the Seagate Dashboard. On the left corner you'll see all Seagate enabled devices (in our case, the BackupPlus Hub), and easily choose whether to backup, upload, or restore your files.
