The 750GB Seagate Pushbutton Backup Drive is basically the same drive as the rest of the Pushbutton Backup Drives but with one significant difference: it uses perpendicular recording technology, which means it can fit all 750GB onto a single disk. (Most 750GB drives use three 250GB drives, making them bulky.) It gave very mixed performance in tests, much like the Western Digital MyBook that we recently reviewed. Though we were impressed with the design and the amount of space it offered, we wish the Seagate had better writing speed.
