The Seagate Expansion drive houses a single 22TB platter, so its physical size is no larger than a standard desktop hard drive. It connects via USB 3.0, which won't slow down the drive's performance, and a matching USB 3.0 cable is included. The package also comes with data recovery software, and the drive is automatically recognized by both Windows and macOS systems.

While solid-state drives (SSDs) are popular, traditional hard drives remain the superior choice for long-term, high-capacity storage. First, they are far more affordable—this drive costs about $11.36 per TB, compared to at least $50 per TB for an SSD. Second, hard drives offer much higher maximum capacities; consumer SSDs typically max out at 8TB, which is far less than this drive's 22TB. Perhaps most crucially, although SSDs can match HDDs in longevity, recovering data from a failed hard drive is generally much easier and more successful than from a failed SSD.
