This Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive is awesome.  Seriously.  It is so easy to use – you just plug it into a USB port, and ta da! it’s ready to go.  It is so small and thin and lightweight without skimping on storage size (this one’s 1 TB).  Gone are the days where the greater the storage size, the larger the device.  It’s sleek and streamlined.  You can also use it to easily upload pictures and videos to social media sites.  We are primarily using it as a back up storage drive for all of our pictures, videos, and files.  We got rid of our second computer that we were saving for that very purpose, and instead have this small external hard drive that we can store in our fireproof safe.  Those baby pictures and videos are just too precious to lose!

You can buy your Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive from www.seagate.com, or from Amazon.com, Best Buy, or Staples.  The 500 GB retails for $109.99.
