The Expansion 16TB external drive from Seagate has never been so expensive

We’ve never seen this 16TB external drive from Seagate discounted so much before.

Most people would like fast storage, but sometimes, you just want a huge backup.  This massive Seagate HDD comes in capacities up to 18TB, so you can store almost all of your files for a lot less than what you'd pay for the same amount of SSD storage.

Whether you’re looking to expand your computer’s internal backup or move some massive data between devices, the Seagate Expansion 16TB external drive may be just what you need. The discounted asking price is the lowest we’ve seen yet.

We’ve all been there. You’re working away on your desktop or laptop, and all of a sudden you notice a pop-up notification warning you that it’s low on internal storage. A better (and more budget-friendly) solution is to buy an external drive like the Seagate 16TB Expansion Drive during Black Friday. This thing is capable of holding up to 16,000 GB of data and probably a lot more than what your computer can give you.


In terms of price, $245 would equate to about $0.02 per GB of storage. The advantage of buying an external drive like this over something like a NAS is portability. If you’re on the road frequently or need to transfer data between locations, the Seagate Expansion external drive will be ready to go.


What makes a Seagate deal such a good deal?

The price of hard drives continues to drop as more people choose to go with SSDs. It’s slower and prone to physical failure in engines or heads, but it’s incredible for storing a lot of data for a reasonable price. You can often buy several large hard drives for the price of a single SSD. The Seagate Expansion Drive is great for moving data between devices, playing games from, or storing backups.

Unfortunately, unlike some other external drives, the hard drive Seagate is using here is one of the company’s primary drives. This isn’t an issue for general use, but it does mean you won’t be able to open it up and extract the more expensive Seagate IronWolf NAS drive. We’ve seen savings like this made with the sale of some Western Digital external drives.
