The Seagate Expansion includes a single 22TB disk drive, so it’s no larger than other desktop hard drives. It uses a USB 3.0 interface, which won’t limit traditional hard drive speeds, and comes with a USB 3.0 cable. This model also includes recovery software and automatically recognizes both Windows and Mac computers.
While SSDs are popular today, traditional hard drives are still the better option for long-term storage. Hard drives are far more budget-friendly, costing just $11.36 per TB compared to at least $50 per TB for a solid state drive. They also offer much higher maximum capacities. Consumer SSDs typically top out at 8TB, which is much smaller than this drive’s 22TB capacity. Perhaps most importantly, although SSD and HDD lifespans can be comparable, recovering data from a failed hard drive is usually easier than from a failed SSD.
