The Samsung T3 portable SSD, for example, offers read speeds of 422MBps, and a write speed of 393MBps. ThatвЂ™s considerably slower, so do make sure you plug this drive into a USB 3.0 port whenever possible.ДЄre there faster USB 3.0 drives out there? Yes, but most are SSDs. Our answer вЂ“ yes! Over USB 2.0 this drive offers a read speed of 41.1MBps, and a write speed of 42.8MBps. Given the speed limitations of a mechanical drive, you might be wondering if USB 3.0 is even worthwhile. These figures are mediocre, but not unusual for a compact mechanical drive. We saw a read speed of 91MBps, an access time 12.4ms, and a write speed 94.9MBps. Our HD Tune benchmark, which runs a longer file transfer, gave us lower numbers.

ItвЂ™s also similar to internal mechanical hard drives weвЂ™ve tested, though there are faster models. ThatвЂ™s about the fastest speed you can expect from an external mechanical hard drive, and is in fact nearly identical to the speeds we saw from LaCieвЂ™s Porsche Design. Over USB 3.0 we saw a read speed of 130.8 megabytes per second, and a write speed of 129.8MBps.

Does cramming moving parts into a small case compromise speed?ДЄpparently not, if our CrystalDiskMark sequential tests are anything to go by. Fast as a mechanical drive can beДespite its small form factor, the Seagate Ultra Slim has a traditional, mechanical hard drive inside. ItвЂ™s not too obnoxious, but its slight hum is audible in a quiet room. When you plug in the Seagate, youвЂ™ll hear that itвЂ™s on, thanks to the extremely thin case. If we have one criticism of this drive, itвЂ™s the sound. At 15 inches long, itвЂ™ll work for most scenarios, but you may need a different cord if you donвЂ™t plan to rest the drive on top of your desktop. The included cable connects over USB 3.0, with the standard type-A connector on one side and a type-B micro connector on the other. All told this hard drive is likely smaller than your phone, and at 4.8 ounces it probably weighs a little less too. The other dimensions are standard: 4.47 inches long, 2.99 inches wide, which is about the size of every portable drive on the market at this point. 49 inches thick, by way of comparison, and that was about the thinnest device on the market until now. The already-thin Western Digital My Passport Slim is. 38 inches thick, which is downright tiny for a mechanical hard drive in an enclosure. Seagate calls this an вЂњultra slimвЂќ drive, and thatвЂ™s not an exaggeration. None of the material feels tough, but it does the job well enough.Д¬an a hard drive be cute? Because this thing is tiny, and has dimples. The bottom and the sides, meanwhile, are a single piece of lightweight plastic. Not much breaks this pattern up, save for an indicator light and a logo in opposite corner dimples. The metal plate on top, available in silver and gold color aluminum, is covered in an alternating series of indented bubbles. Slim and sturdyДЄre we allowed to call a hard drive cute? Because this thing is tiny, and has dimples. Is the company right? We grabbed a 2TB silver model to find out. There are cheaper drives with the same amount of storage, but Seagate is hoping the driveвЂ™s form factor and design will help make up the difference. SeagateвЂ™s new Ultra Slim line shows just how dense data storage can be, and does so at a reasonable price - a mere $100 for 2TB, and $70 for 1TB. And theyвЂ™ve become small enough to fit in your pocket. A decade ago, most people had never heard of a terabyte. It is staggering how fast hard drive storage is evolving.
