Amazon is offering a significant discount on the Seagate 22TB external hard drive for Black Friday, reducing its price by 60% from its usual $599 to a record low of $229. This deal represents a substantial drop from the $249 price it typically sells for and provides an exceptional value of just over $10 per terabyte.
The 22TB capacity offers extensive storage for various needs, capable of holding millions of photos, hours of video, or hundreds of thousands of songs without compromising quality. This allows users to store large media libraries, professional work, or years of digital content without having to delete files or rely on cloud services.
The drive features USB 3.0 connectivity for fast data transfers, estimated at around 100-150 MB per second for sequential operations, making backups and large file transfers efficient. Seagate includes Rescue Data Recovery Services with the drive, which covers the cost of professional data recovery in case of mechanical or logical failure, offering peace of mind for valuable data.
The external hard drive is designed for plug-and-play use with both Windows and Mac computers, requiring no complex setup and can be reformatted for Mac file systems if needed. Its performance is best suited for archival purposes, cold storage, and media server streaming rather than running active applications.
