Seagate Expansion 22TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive

Pricing:

• $299.99 save 17% = $249.99 at Amazon
• $299.99 save 20% = $239.99 at Seagate

The Seagate Expansion comes equipped with a single 22TB disk drive, maintaining a compact form factor similar to other desktop hard drives. It features a USB 3.0 interface that won't bottleneck traditional hard drive speeds, and the package includes a USB 3.0 cable. Additionally, it comes with recovery software and supports automatic recognition on both Windows and Mac systems.

While SSDs may be the trendsetters for speed, traditional hard drives remain the go-to choice for long-term storage due to their cost-effectiveness and larger capacities. At $11.36 per TB, this hard drive is a steal compared to SSDs, which can cost at least $50 per TB. Moreover, consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, significantly less than the 22TB this drive offers. Another critical advantage of hard drives is data recovery; it's far easier to recover data from a failed HDD than from an SSD.
