Designed for users who are on-the-go, yet require the storage afforded by desktop drives, the 4TB Backup Plus USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive for Mac from Seagate provides 4TB of space for data such as documents, videos, photos, music, and more. It is pre-formatted as HFS+ for Mac OS X 10.7 and later and connects to your system using its USB 3.0 interface, which is not only bus powered and requires no external power supplies, but also compatible with USB 2.0. While this drive is formatted for Mac, Seagate's included Paragon driver enables HFS+ compatibility for Windows, allowing this drive to be read from and written to in Windows without needing to be reformatted.
Seagate has also bundled this drive with its Dashboard software, which provides tools for mobile cloud and social media backup. Seagate's free Mobile Backup app can be installed on iOS or Android mobile devices and used to back up pictures and videos from a mobile device to an external drive. Users may also back up to the cloud using the Seagate Dashboard, and cloud connectivity is also available for Google Drive and Dropbox, as well as social media backup for Facebook and Flickr.
