Besides offering ample storage capacity, the Backup Plus Fast is housed in a metal top-case that is resistant to scratches. It has a USB 3.0 interface for speedy file transfers. The other addition, the Backup Plus Slim offers the same speedy storage solution, albeit with a lower capacity of 2TB. It is positioned as a social-media centric device that allows users to back up their shared social media content, especially on Facebook and Flickr.
