Lyve apps for computers and mobile devices will find all the photos and video from your various devices and create a single, organised collection, which can easily be viewed from your smartphone or tablet – no matter where you are. At 0.38″, that appears to be the case – the WD My Passport Slim we took a look at a couple of months ago is 0.48″ thick.Seagate Backup Plus can transform into a Lyve backup device, protecting memories you capture from all your devices. In addition to the “Fast” model, Seagate also announced a “Slim” variant, which it calls the world’s thinnest. This 4TB model is set to sell for $299.99, so we’d expect that the drive inside is not Seagate’s “Desktop” variant – further proven by the fact that it carries a 3-year warranty. The drive can also make use of Seagate’s Mobile Backup app, which requires iOS 6+ on the Apple side, and Android 2.3+ on the Google side. While technical specs are a bit lacking here, Seagate touts a max throughput of 220MB/s, while its size comes in at 4.6 x 3.25 x 0.88 inches with a weight of 0.675 lbs.Īs you’d expect, the Backup Plus Fast (and Slim, which I’ll talk about in a moment) support all current versions of Windows and Mac OS X (and I’d expect Linux, as well), along with USB 3.0.

Called Backup Plus Fast, the goals of this drive couldn’t be more clear. CES wouldn’t be CES without a bunch of external storage announcements, so to help kick things off, Seagate pulled the world’s first 4TB model out of its hat.
