Seagate Technology plc has launched Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Slim, the world’s thinnest 2TB mobile hard drive, it claims.  The Backup Plus Ultra Slim also includes 200GB of Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage and Lyve software compatibility, so users can back up, access and share their favorite files from any device or location.

“The launch of the Backup Plus Ultra Slim builds on Seagate’s rich history of award-winning innovation to give users even more capacity in an incredibly small form factor,” said Tim Bucher, vice president for Seagate’s Consumer Group. “Based on our breakthrough ultra-mobile hard drive technology, this new storage solution gives them a better way to manage the increase in both data volumes and number of devices.”

Portability and Capacity

At just 9.6mm, the Backup Plus Ultra Slim external drive employs Seagate’s 2.5-inch HDD technology, making it more than 50 percent thinner than other 2TB drives on the market. Users can keep more than 500,000 songs, 320,000 photos or 240 hours of high definition video in their pocket. Available in gorgeous golden or platinum metal finish, this sleek new product is designed to complement the looks of stylish computers, tablets and phones.

One-Click or Customizable Backup

The Backup Plus Slim includes Seagate Dashboard software, which offers users either one-click on-demand or customizable, scheduled backups for their devices. This allows users to schedule backups for when it’s most convenient.

Simple Cloud Storage and Management

Backup Plus Ultra Slim comes with 200GB of free Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage for two years, which lets users share and access their favorite files anywhere on a mobile device or a PC. The Backup Plus Ultra Slim also includes Lyve software, which helps users to protect precious photos and videos from their digital cameras and smartphones and automatically organizes them into a single unified library accessible from any mobile device or computer.
