![]() Oddly, Futuremark's PC Mark 8 wouldn't run on the drive and would consistently crash. ![]() It reached a staggering 124MBps in sequential read, and a jaw-dropping 195MBps in sequential write both figures were obtained via the popular storage benchmark, CrystalDiskMark 3. Sure, put a 1TB SSD in an external enclosure and you'd end up with something faster – but compared to other traditional platter-based hard disk drives with a low RPM, it is a stunner. The Seagate Backup Plus 8TB is probably one of the fastest external hard disk drives we've tested. You will need to add a couple of Watts for the actual power consumption but it is fair to say that leaving it connected 24x7 wouldn't be a bad idea given that it is essentially built for doing just that. Note that these figures are for the internal drive (Seagate hasn't provided the figures for the Backup Plus). ![]() The drive can be used 24 hours a day and sips power when in standby mode (less than 1W) and even in operating mode, consumes just 7.5W.
