Portable 2TB USB 3.0 Drive

The Seagate Backup Plus Slim STDR2000100 is a 2TB portable external hard drive that connects through USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. It draws power directly from the USB port so no separate adapter is required. The 2.5 inch form factor makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag.

Suits mobile backup, not desktop expansion

This drive suits users who need a lightweight, bus-powered backup target for laptops or tablets and who value the included cloud storage feature. Buyers who need a 3.5 inch desktop drive with higher spindle speeds or an external power supply for sustained write workloads should look elsewhere.

5400 RPM spindle speed

The mechanism spins at 5400 RPM with a 64MB cache, which determines the sustained transfer rate you will see over the USB 3.0 interface. If your workflow demands faster sequential throughput, a drive with a higher rotational speed would be required.

Questions about this item

How long can the 2.5" 5400RPM drive sustain writes before the 64MB cache fills and speed drops?

The 64MB cache absorbs bursts, but sustained large-file writes will settle at the mechanical 5400RPM rate once the buffer is full.

Does the USB-powered 2.5" enclosure stay cool and quiet during all-day backups?

The slim aluminium body acts as a heatsink; the 5400RPM mechanism runs silently and stays warm but not hot under continuous use.

Will the STDR2000100 work on my laptop that only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible with USB 2.0, though transfers will run at the slower 2.0 speed.
