Black Friday Deal: Seagate 22TB External Hard Drive Drops to $230
A massive 22TB Seagate Expansion Desktop Hard Drive is available for $229.99 this Black Friday, offering a considerable storage upgrade for gamers, creatives, and anyone needing to archive large files. Regularly priced higher, this deal represents notable savings and a cost-effective choice to pricier solid-state drives.
Teh Seagate Expansion drive features a USB 3.0 interface and includes a USB 3.0 cable. It’s designed for both Windows and Mac computers, with included recovery software and automatic recognition. While SSDs gain popularity, traditional hard drives remain the superior choice for long-term, large-capacity storage due to their lower cost per terabyte and greater potential for data recovery in the event of failure.
Currently, this hard drive offers approximately $10 per terabyte, while solid-state drives typically cost at least $60 per terabyte. Consumer SSDs also generally max out at 8TB, significantly less than the 22TB capacity of the Seagate Expansion.
