Product Description

The Seagate Backup Plus for Mac desktop drive simplifies backup for consumers who want to protect their entire digital life locally or on social networks.

Managing your social profile has never been easier. Install the downloadable HFS+ driver for PC, and use the drive interchangeably between Mac computers and PCs without reformatting.
