Toolkit is attractive and competent, supports pure backup and folder syncing, and works on both PC and macOS. It wouldn’t be a Backup Plus if it didn’t include Seagate’s own Toolkit utility/backup software. Seagate’s Backup Plus Hub has a power jack and female USB Micro-B connector gracing its backside. On the back of the enclosure are the AC adapter jack and a Micro-B USB port. When I first opened the box, I was half-expecting charge-only functionality, but you can plug in anything you want to the USB port, including additional storage devices. Seagate rightly figures that if you’re going to have something large on your desk that requires a power cord, you might as well put the extra juice to work.

The reason this particular Backup Plus model includes 'Hub' in its moniker is that it sports fully functional dual USB Type-A ports on the front.

No, it’s not going to fit in your pocket. Sporting a 3.5-inch hard drive and an AC adapter, the Backup Plus Hub is hefty, weighing about three pounds and measuring around 4.75 by 7.75 by 1.5 inches.
