This is basically the exact same application as which ships with LaCie branded drives, just with a different skin. Now that is how you do a proper accessory list.Īlso included, albeit on the hard drive itself, is Seagate’s Toolbox software.

Then you will find a free two-month subscription to Adobe Cloud ‘Photography’ package (worth about $20 USD), and a one-year free subscription to Mylio’s Creative online backup and organizer application… which is worth $50 all on its own. On top of the usual suspects, you will also find a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C adapter (to let this drive connect to modern devices which have dropped Type-A ports in favor of the smaller Type-C). Yes, the typical accessories are included – like an installation/warranty pamphlet and USB 3.0 Type-A to USB 3.0 micro-USB cable however, this is just the start of the goodies included. The accessories which accompany this are head and shoulders above average. Free from worry about blunt force trauma, sharp objects stabbing the drive, and basically anything else that is likely to happen while it is as at the ‘gentle mercies’ of the shipping agent.

In either case, the exterior box houses a large plastic clamshell protection layer which literally lets the Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch float in the center of the box. What has not changed is the fact that they are eye-catching, filled with information and generally ‘just work’ the way they are. Over the years Seagate’s shipping containers have gotten a bit more mature, a bit more minimalistic, a bit more stylized.
