The Seagate Expansion features a single 22TB disk drive, ensuring it's no larger than your typical desktop hard drive. It comes equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, which ensures you won't experience any bottlenecks with traditional hard drive speeds, and includes a USB 3.0 cable in the package. Additionally, it comes with recovery software and is automatically recognized by both Windows and Mac computers.

While solid-state drives (SSDs) are increasingly popular, traditional hard drives remain the best choice for long-term storage. For starters, hard drives are significantly more cost-effective. At $11.36 per TB, this hard drive is a steal compared to SSDs, which can cost at least $50 per TB. Hard drives also offer much higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs typically top out at 8TB, whereas this drive provides a whopping 22TB. Perhaps most crucially, while SSDs and HDDs may have similar lifespans, data recovery is far simpler with HDDs should a failure occur.
