The Seagate Expansion features a single 20TB disk drive, ensuring it's no larger than other desktop hard drives. It connects via a USB 3.0 interface, offering transfer speeds of up to 100MB/s, which is typical for traditional hard drives. This drive also comes with recovery software and is automatically recognized by both Windows and Mac computers.

While SSDs are currently popular, traditional hard drives remain the go-to choice for long-term storage. They are significantly more cost-effective; this hard drive offers storage at $11.50/TB, whereas SSDs would cost you at least $50/TB. Additionally, hard drives boast much higher maximum capacities. Consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, which is dwarfed by the 20TB capacity of this drive. Crucially, although SSDs can match HDDs in terms of lifespan, recovering data from a failed HDD is far easier than from an SSD.
