Recently we had a chance to try out the awesome Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable drive that fits easily into any pocket, and it’s super fast and stores a full terabyte of data.

We are well aware that it is inevitable to use computers these days, especially that now Big M is in Secondary school. The way to solve lack of storage space within laptop is to rely on an external USB hard drive. The Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable drive is reliable and perfect for being used as the preferred backup for mass storage.

Having a portable hard drive is one essential, and it would be good protection when it comes with Seagate Rescue Service (SRS). Seagate experts would be able to retrieve the data and return to us! The thousands of photos of Big and Small M’s travels, school materials, and birthday milestones are just too important to be preserved.

The SRS can be purchased separately and is available @ Popular at an additional cost.

The SRS cards for Singapore is currently available based on pricing below.

Standalone Purchase
2-year – $29.90
3-year – $39.90

Purchase with Purchase with Seagate drives

Some pros of Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable drive :

1. Built in an ultra-sleek and stylish design, the Backup Plus Slim is light (about 160g), thin and extremely convenient to carry around. Big M can use it to transfer files among her friends’ computers.

2. It has a sturdy body that is not easily breakable and is designed to keep your data safe.

3. It can be used in both the USB 2.0 as well as the USB 3.0 connectivity options and the hard disk can be connected to all your USB 2.0 devices to transfer data. The USB 3.0 lets you connect and transfer data at ultra-high speeds.

4. It can be complemented with a 2-year Seagate Rescue Service (SRS).

Thanks to beautiful innovation, the Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable drive is not clunky, easy to carry around, fits into Big M’s bag easily and allows her to transfer files back and forth with a degree of speed. What a way to offer the best balance of performance, features and price. We couldn’t ask for more!

California Travelogue – (Part 4): Golden Gate Park, California Academy of Sciences, Facebook, Googleplex, Stanford University, Big Sur and Solvang Village

September 21, 2019 katongkidsinc

Time passes so fast, it would have been a year before we complete our US travelogue. We had a magical experience visiting the Golden Gate Bridge the day before.

And we were ready to leave San Francisco, but not before collecting our rental car.

We had 5 pieces of luggage and were told that we had to take a Buick Enclave to fit our family inside..

Wasting no time after the car collection, we hit the Golden Gate Park.

The San Francisco Botanical Garden is a living museum within Golden Gate Park where it houses landscaped gardens containing over 8,500 different kinds of plants from around the world.

A short distance away is the California Academy of Sciences. We heard that it’s a must to check out this discovery centre as by far, it’s an educational experience that every kid will never forget.

The California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park has three combined attractions where we could explore the aquarium, planetarium, and a natural history museum.

Our first time seeing a white alligator, one of the rarest in the world!

There was a school excursion and many curious kids are here at the rainforest exhibit.

The building just offers endless fun! We spent about 2 hours here which was rather short before hitting the road.

We drove along the Pacific Coast Highland where there are 13 incredible stops on your visit to California. Well, we tried our best but it was challenging to visit every single attractions.

We stopped by Silicon Valley to visit Facebook Headquarters and Googleplex.

Continue our journey and checked Stanford University.

Hit the road again..

We passed by Santa Cruz, Monterey and on our way to Big Sur, cattle feeding on the hills.

Taking a breather and had our lunch before moving to our next accommodation.

Finally arrived at our Airbnb!

The landlord provided instruction how to retrieve the keys.

A big house where we stayed together with the landlord.

The next day, we hit the road again (as usual) where we covered about 450km per day.

Stopped at rest points to have our meals.

After driving about 300km, we finally reached Denmark. Did we hear correctly? More than a 100 years ago, a group of Danes settled in a corner of this idyllic place.

The beautiful Solvang is a city in Santa Barbara County, California. This charming Danish village is nestled in the Santa Ynez Valley that looks and smells like Christmas year-round.

Every spot is so tempting for us to pause by to take photos.

Yummy! We were seized by the delicious scent of freshly-baked pastries.

Small M was thrilled to see the famous windmill!

Solvang town where visitors will see all kinds of shops and bakeries, as well as windmills, which everyone loves.

Just one of their growing up years.

It was a perfect day to sit out and map out our Solvang plans for the day.

One of the best highlights of our trip to west coastwas the visit to the Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic structure connecting the city of San Francisco to Marin County, California.
