The Seagate Expansion boasts a single 20TB drive, making it a standard desktop hard drive size. It utilizes a USB 3.0 interface, providing transfer speeds of approximately 100MB/s – typical for a traditional HDD. It also includes data recovery software and is compatible with both Windows and macOS.

While SSDs are popular, traditional hard drives remain superior for long-term archiving due to their significantly lower cost. At $11.50/TB, this HDD drastically undercuts SSDs, which typically cost at least $50/TB. Hard drives also offer much higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs generally max out around 8TB. Finally, data recovery is generally easier from a failed HDD than from a failed SSD.
