DonвЂ™t waste your money on this model, just opt for last yearвЂ™s Backup Plus or the Expansion range, unless you absolutely love Mylio Create and want to try Adobe Creative Cloud. LetвЂ™s return to the Backup Plus Slim, though: should you buy it? The simple answer is probably not, there are cheaper hard disk drives out there from Seagate itself. If that trend continues, a 1TB external SSD will cost less than a 1TB hard drive this time next year. A recent glut of inventory means that SSD prices have fallen significantly, dangerously approaching the symbolic floor of $100 per TB, about twice what a hard disk of similar capacity costs today.

Speaking of which, it might not be long before we wave goodbye to hard drives anyway. A perfect way to store files and data securely.

In amazon, the 2TB is available at 90, whereas the 1TB is at 70. Also, this variant has some differences it. ThatвЂ™s great if you have any inclination towards the creative side of computing, but not so great if you only want quality storage on the cheap (the drive comes with a two-year warranty, by the way).

The drive comes with the brand new Mylio photo management software and a two-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, but no storage applications like, say, the WD My Passport Ultra range.
