The Seagate Expansion comes with a single 22TB disk drive, making it compact like any other desktop hard drive. It features a USB 3.0 interface that won't bottleneck traditional hard drive speeds, and a USB 3.0 cable is included. The drive also comes with recovery software and is automatically recognized by both Windows and Mac computers.

While SSDs are popular these days, traditional hard drives remain the go-to choice for long-term storage. They are significantly more cost-effective, with this drive costing just $11.36 per TB compared to at least $50 per TB for an SSD. Hard drives also offer much higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, whereas this drive boasts a whopping 22TB. Additionally, while SSDs and HDDs may have similar lifespans, recovering data from a failed HDD is much easier than from an SSD.
