Seagate 22TB External Hard Drive From $239.99

Seagate Expansion 22TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive

Originally priced at $299.99, you can now save 17% and get it for $249.99 at Amazon or save 20% and purchase it for $239.99 at Seagate. The Seagate Expansion features a single 22TB disk drive, keeping it compact like any other desktop hard drive. It comes with a USB 3.0 interface that ensures you won't experience any bottlenecks with traditional hard drive speeds, and a USB 3.0 cable is included in the package. Additionally, it comes with recovery software and is automatically recognized by both Windows and Mac computers.

While SSDs are popular these days, traditional hard drives remain the go-to choice for long-term storage. For starters, hard drives are much more cost-effective. At $11.36 per TB, this hard drive is a steal compared to SSDs, which cost at least $50 per TB. Hard drives also offer higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, whereas this drive boasts a whopping 22TB. Moreover, although SSDs and HDDs can have similar lifespans, recovering data from a failed HDD is generally easier than from an SSD.
