The Seagate Expansion, despite its massive 24TB capacity, maintains a compact size thanks to a single 20TB drive. It boasts a USB 3.0 interface offering transfer speeds of up to 100MB/s, typical for a traditional hard drive. Windows and Mac compatibility is automatic, and recovery software is included.

While SSDs are popular, traditional hard drives remain superior for long-term storage due to their significantly lower cost. At $11.67/TB, this hard drive drastically undercuts the cost of SSDs (typically $50/TB or more). Hard drives also offer far greater maximum capacities; consumer SSDs usually top out around 8TB. Finally, data recovery from a failed HDD is generally easier than from a failed SSD.
