Seagate Expansion 20TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive

$299.99 save 23% - $229.99 at Best Buy

The Seagate Expansion features a single 20TB disk drive, making it no larger than your typical desktop hard drive. It comes equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, offering transfer speeds of up to 100MB/s, which is standard for traditional hard drives. Additionally, it includes recovery software and is automatically recognized by both Windows and Mac computers.

While SSDs are currently all the rage, traditional hard drives remain the go-to choice for long-term storage. Not only are hard drives significantly more cost-effective, but they also offer much larger storage capacities. This Seagate drive, at $11.50 per TB, is a steal compared to SSDs, which can cost at least $50 per TB. Furthermore, consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, which is dwarfed by the 20TB capacity of this drive. Importantly, while SSDs may match HDDs in lifespan, recovering data from a failed HDD is much easier than from an SSD.
