The price for Seagate’s data recovery service is $10 for two years, or $15 for three years. Note that there is no 100-percent guarantee that data can be recovered from a hard drive, though the success rate is exceedingly high. The online “wizard” also shills online data recovery plans. Seagate ToolKit is a competent file-level backup utility, but you can skip the the mildly annoying download experience if you’re already set. Both programs are nicely rendered and quite capable, but I’m not a fan of being forced to download essential software or being upsold non-essential software. You run StartHere.exe to go online to complete a registration process and get your software. Seagate also bundles its ToolKit backup/utility software and a year’s subscription to the Mylio online photo aggregator (from multiple online services such as Facebook, etc.) and organizer.

However, there is a Type-A to Type C adapter included for the Micro-B to Type-A cable. The Ultra Touch sports a SuperSpeed Micro-B port on board rather than Type-C.
