How Much Has Seagate’s HDD Revenue Grown Since 2016?

Seagate Backup Plus Hub 6TB Review

Seagate is a well-known name in the world of external hard drives, and the Seagate Backup Plus Hub is one of the brand’s desktop HDDs. With large capacities of between 4TB and 10TB, cross-platform compatibility, and dual functionality as both a data hub and a recharging station, the Seagate Backup Plus Hub should be a valuable addition to any home office. I tested the 6TB version of the Backup Plus Hub for a week to see if its design, performance, and features make it a worthwhile investment. Seagate Backup Plus Hub The Seagate Backup Plus Hub is larger than a typical portable hard drive, but it’s not huge by any means.

What Is a Hard Drive Activity Light?

A hard drive activity light sometimes referred to as an HDD LED, a hard drive light, or a hard drive activity indicator, is a small LED light that illuminates whenever the hard drive or other built-in storage is being read from or written to. Knowing when your computer's hard drive is being accessed is helpful so you can avoid pulling the battery or unplugging the computer while the operating system is still accessing files on the drive, a mistake that can cause corruption of important files. Where Is the HDD LED Located? On a desktop, the hard drive activity light is usually positioned on the front of the computer case. On a laptop, the HDD LED is usually located near the power button, which is sometimes next to the keyboard and other times on an edge of the computer. On tablet and other small form factor computers, the hard drive light is on some edge of the device, usually the bottom. External hard drives, flash drives, network-attached storage, and other outside-the-computer st...
