Seagate Expansion 28TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive
The Seagate Expansion boasts a single 22TB disk drive so it’s physically no bigger than any other desktop hard drive. It features a USB 3.0 interface, which won’t bottleneck traditional hard drive speeds, and a USB 3.0 cable is included in the packaging. It also includes recovery software and automatic recognition of both Windows and Mac computers.
Although SSDs are all the rage these days, traditional hard drives are still the superior choice for long term storage. For one, hard drives are significantly less expensive. Compared to this hard drive’s $10/TB cost, a solid state drive would run you at least $60/TB. Hard drives also have a much higher maximum capacity. Consumer SSDs generally cap out at 8TB, which pales in comparison to the 22TB capacity of this drive. Perhaps most importantly, although SSDs can equal HDDs in terms of lifespan, it’s much easier to recover data from a HDD than SSD if either one fails.
