Q: Is the hard drive connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port on your computer or hub? A: If your hard drive is connected to a Hi-Speed 2.0 port or hub, the inferior performance is normal. Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch performance will improve when it is connected to a USB 3.1 port or a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port.
Q: Can I use my hard drive with a longer cable? A: Yes, provided it is certified according to USB standards. However, Seagate recommends using the cable shipped with your hard drive for the best results. If you use a longer cable and experience problems with detection, transfer rates or disconnection, use the original cable included with your hard drive.
Q: Did you get an error message telling you that the drive has been disconnected when coming out of sleep mode? A: Ignore this message since the drive remounts on the desktop despite the pop-up. Seagate drives conserve power by spinning down when you set your computer to sleep mode. When the computer awakes from sleep mode, the drive may not have enough time to spin up, causing the pop-up to appear.
