I ended up returning them as defective to Newegg for a refund. I'll be going back to the WD My Book drives instead. I purchased four of these 5 TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable drives with the intention of replacing four 3 TB My Book drives that were almost 9 years old. #REFORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM FOR MAC AND PC PORTABLE# I use these drives for an offsite backups. Two are connected to the Linux server on which a nightly backup of the network is run. Every Monday the drives are swapped so that there is always a set offsite. The Linux server is running Ubuntu 20.04.2 on a Biostar B365GTA motherboard with an 8 core i7-9700K LGA1151 processor and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM.Ī cron job kicks off the backup every night. I expected the new drives to simply be drop in replacements. I used Gparted to delete what was on the drives and create a single NTFS partition on the whole drive. For two of the drives Gparted declared errors just trying to analyze the current contents. Thinking this would be solved with a new NTFS partition I proceeded formatting the drives. The nightly backup started normally, but took a tremendously long time. As a test I tried connecting the drives to an Acer quad core i5 Windows 10 laptop to see if they could be used there.Īfter a day and a half I killed the job and started investigating. The Windows 10 disk manager could see the drive, but couldn't use it. ![]() ![]() #REFORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM FOR MAC AND PC WINDOWS 10# The other two mounted, but their performance was terrible. I booted the Linux server from a USB thumb drive running the 64-bit version System Rescue CD v7.01. I did this to be able to run tests on a system that had as little as possible running on it to get better test results. I used the hdparm utility to measure the read performance. ![]() #REFORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM FOR MAC AND PC PORTABLE#.#REFORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM FOR MAC AND PC WINDOWS 10#.#REFORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS SLIM FOR MAC AND PC MAC OS X#. ![]()
