The Seagate is formatted as NTFS (I know.), so I thought this would work better on Windows. data from the Seagate disk, the speed is massively boosted for about a second and a half. Here is the KICKER: if, while a file is copying from the Seagate drive, I go into the Disks utility and manually force a refresh of the S.M.A.R.T. HOWEVER, if I try to copy from my Seagate drive to either my internal HDD or SSD, I get the very precise copying speed of 2.5MB/s. I've had a few minor problems with the drive which I was able to fix, but I've hit a really problematic snag.Ĭopying from my internal HDD or SSD to the Seagate drive gives normal transfers speeds (100MB/s for about 1.3 GB and then slows down to 20MB/s on my USB3 port).

Or return it & get an OWC external harddrive.I'm working on Linux Mint 18.3, and I have a Seagate Backup Plus 2TB external HDD. I think they are being fast and loose by not providing real specs in their data sheet. No performance numbers are a big red flag to me.
It didn't contain any performance numbers.👿 I did contain the number of drives you could stack on a pallet. Thunderbolt technology or FireWire 800 with the available additional adapter

Seagate Backup Plus design, you can upgrade from the included USB 3.0 interface to plus-portable-drive/en-us/docs/backup-plus-portable-ds06us.pdf If l keep this drive (instead of retuning it), will it might catch some troubles along the line? Will it be still safe enough to rely on it properely?ĭid you reformat the drive? If your not going to use on Windows, the mac format would be best I'd say. Or, do l have to go back thete?īottom line: what do l actually have to do (l do not gave the most remote clue). I supose, one of them was the Software, but how do l get back to that stage. When first plugged in, inside the drive thete was a few Folders & Files (ehich l don't know what they was about) - then, when l have formatted it, they disappeared. I don't know if l've got those skills toh. "Try to reformat it agaon but do not put any of the Seagate softwares inside. Yes, l just merely need to back up my files. But nobody have been able to clearely tell me anything - just generical answers (like "maybe try one with this feature").ĭesperate and tired of looking everywhere l have tried to follow Seafegate's suggestion: they said it could work perfectly. Well l have been researching for weeks, everywhere and anywhere for somebody whom could tell me which exact external HD could be perfectly compatible with my 10.4.11.
"Any reason you purchased this drive and not just a plain USB external drive?" Hi Frank l am really greatefull for your reply. Thank you to being so kind to let me know 🙂 I am not shure is what l have got here is worthwhile keeping, because it seems a little strange. Is it maybe bacause the new one comes with USB3 (backwords compatible)? Is it because the new one has been sort of 'cracked'? Is it because 1TB is bigger than 500GB and it requires double work (dispite the fact that they have a much different age)?

So, why is i that my brand new 1 TB empty HD is much slower than my old completely full 500GB one? So here l am not shure if all this is normal or somewhere there is something 'funny', so l was looking to ask if someone could tell me about it. The result was:, the brand new 1TB Seagate took well DOUBLE the time than the stuffed old Verbatim 500GB one, to get the files in!! Wiered! I have dragged the same file, into my Brand New 1TB drive, and my stuffed & creepy old Verbatim 500GB at the same time.

So l thought to try to compare it with another External Hard Driver to see what difference could come up. When l dragged the files into the Driver they initially seemed a little 'slow'. Lucky enough It seemd to work (?) - no idea about what or why, anyways now l was able to drag files inside, plug it, unplug it and verything. I have found a way around it: in fact on the re-formatting process (through the Utility Disk), instead of selecting 'MS-DOS File System' (which was required), l have selected 'Mac Os Extended (Journaled)' - just to see what could happen.
#Seagate dashboard backup very slow software#
Neither re-formatting the Drive and installaing of the Software could be possible. I have repeated that because after explaining which type of computer l was to use, both Seagate and the famous computer retailer where l've bought it, told me that they were compatible! L just bought a brand new Seagate External HD "Backup Plus" 1TB, to connect with my old iMac 10.4.11.
