The fact that the drive has the top capacity, especially the 4TB version, means the storage gap between a portable drive and desktop is no longer an issue.
The Seagate Backup Plus/Slim is one of the most convenient ways to backup your data, at home or on the go.
Like the Fast, the Backup Plus/Slim also worked very well in my testing, emitting no noise, vibrations, or heat. So to get the most out of its performance, you do want to use it with USB 3.0. With USB 2.0, the drive averaged between 28MBps and 30MBps. Notes: (Longer bars indicate better performance)

We stopped manufacturing these drives this way, because Windows XP is no longer a supported operating system, additionally the current Expansion drives enable Windows 7 users to use them with the Windows 7 Image Backup program. We were able to do this because these drives came with 4K sector sizes and a special bridge card installed on them to get past the 2.2TB limitation.

Here is a link on how to use “Diskpart”: Our new Expansion drives come out of the box partitioned GPT, but our older line of Expansion drives came partitioned out of the box MBR there was no size limitation with any operating system, even Windows XP. You have to use a command line utility called “Diskpart” to wipe the partition on the drive and convert it to an MBR disk.This is due to the limitation of the MBR partition scheme, it does not mean there is anything wrong with the drive.
So if you have a 4TB Expansion drive and you convert it to MBR you will lose access to a portion of the drive. However there is a 2.2 TB size limitation to MBR disks.
