### Seagate Expansion 20TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive

The Seagate Expansion, despite its massive 20TB capacity, maintains a compact size comparable to other desktop hard drives. It boasts a USB 3.0 interface providing transfer speeds of approximately 100MB/s – typical for a traditional HDD. The drive also includes data recovery software and seamlessly works with both Windows and macOS.
While SSDs are currently popular, traditional hard drives remain superior for long-term storage due to their significantly lower cost and much higher storage capacity. At $11.50/TB, this HDD drastically undercuts the price of SSDs (at least $50/TB). Consumer SSDs usually max out at 8TB, a fraction of this drive's 20TB capacity. Furthermore, while lifespan can be comparable, data recovery from a failed HDD is generally easier than from a failed SSD.
