Seagate Expansion 20TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive

$229.99 at Best Buy (was $299.99, save 23%)

The Seagate Expansion houses a single 20TB drive, making it no larger than a standard desktop hard drive. It boasts a USB 3.0 interface for transfer speeds around 100MB/s—typical for a traditional HDD. Windows and Mac compatibility is automatic, and data recovery software is included.

While SSDs are all the rage, traditional hard drives remain superior for long-term storage. They're dramatically cheaper (compare this drive's $11.50/TB to SSDs at least $50/TB) and offer far higher capacities. Consumer SSDs generally max out at 8TB, dwarfed by this drive's 20TB. And although lifespan is comparable, data recovery from a failed HDD is significantly easier than from a failed SSD.
