I also tested a thumb drive to the USB ports on the Seagate Backup Plus Hub, they performed just like a SUB2.0 thumb drive should. Not particularly fast, but the USB ports are handy.
The Seagate Backup Plus Hub has TONS of room for whatever you might need to backup. The USB3.0 connection work flawlessly, the USB2.0 works just as well, but isn't NEARLY as fast. I would always suggest using the USB3.0 connection.
I would recommend the Seagate Backup Plus Hub 6Tb to anyone in the market for a backup drive. The speed and convenience of the USB3.0 is ideal.
has usb in the front good size does what it needs to do
Runs hot no fan and there is vent holes but most of them are fake. I ended up opening mine and taking the hard drive out and i put it in my computer so it would stay cool. For me this is a win for me anyway because i was looking at $170 for a 4tb internal hard drive and i got this external on sale for $99 so i saved my self $70
Just a note I have had a hard drive go bad do to heat before. Having vent holes on a external hard is very key to getting that heat out! but having fake venting holes made no sense to me
