Seagate Backup Plus family
After the launch of Windows 8, almost all of the major corporations, be it hardware or software, have been taking the initiative in helping consumers and businesses towards a smooth transition into Microsoft's latest OS.
In fact, Seagate is getting into the motion of things by announcing that its Backup Plus family of devices will be compatible with Windows 8, in addition to the existing compatibility with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
This move from Seagate most probably comes from a prediction made by Gartner's Forecast Analysis, which said:
"By the end of 2012 it is expected that 9.6 million of the installed base of personal computers will run Windows 8 and by 2013, it is predicted that 193.2 million personal computers in use will be running Windows 8.”
Available in capacities of 2TB and 3TB, Seagate says that its Backup Plus hard drives come equipped with backup software that makes data preservation as easy as possible with just a click of an icon. Once the upgrade to Windows 8 is performed on your PC, Backup Plus will then be ready to work on your new system. In addition, Seagate said that the Backup Plus can also be set using the new Windows 8 backup feature, File History
