The Seagate Expansion, despite its massive 24TB capacity, is surprisingly compact thanks to a single 20TB drive. It boasts a USB 3.0 interface offering transfer speeds of up to 100MB/s—standard for a traditional hard drive. It also includes recovery software and seamlessly works with both Windows and Mac computers.

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 SSDs, which typically cost at least $50/TB. Hard drives also offer much higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs generally top out at 8TB. Finally, data recovery from a failed HDD is often easier than from a failed SSD.
