I'm on the monthly Adobe CC plan (11.29USD).Īfter each redemption my CC plan next payment date was extended by FOUR months, not two, and next payment is now due eight months later in Oct 2021.

Registration requires entering only your name and email address. In order to claim the redemption you need to register the drives using the 'Start Here' link that is included on the hard drive. One HD box states redeem by Jan 31 2020, the other Jan 31 2021. The box and the Seagate website state that purchase includes TWO months of Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan membership.

Unlike the older generation, these new drives come formatted as exFAT which enables them to be used on both Mac and PCs out of the box.I just purchased two Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB USB3.0 drives (Model STHP4000404) to use for offsite backup of my photos and documents. Short story: last year I switched from Mac to PC - something I never dreamed I'd do - and it was no fun at all having to offload my external drives, reformat them from the Mac OS Extended format to exFAT, and reload them with my files. I wish I had my backup drives set to exFAT from the beginning, even though I never thought it would be necessary. Speed testing the Backup Plus drives on my Dell XPS 15 showed no important difference between clean formats of exFAT and NTFS. Both drives got me around 125 MB/s write and read speeds both in the Blackmagic Design Disk Speed Test program and real world. Five files totaling 3.23 GB took 28 seconds to write to disk.Īs an optional install, the Seagate Backup Plus drives come with Toolkit software that can manage automatic folder syncing, backups, recovery, and reformatting.

The very simple interface was easy enough to follow along with and set up a custom folder to mirror. Toolkit also makes it easy to mirror more standard operating system folders like Photos, Videos, and Documents by just checking some boxes.
