"However most capacities sold out rapidly, with only the massive 22TB model still in stock at $229 instead of the usual $249, and way down from its $599 launch price that made early adopters wince. That works out to about one cent per gigabyte and it's the best value cost-per-GB storage you can find right now on Amazon during Black Friday."
"The 22TB capacity gives you breathing room that smaller drives simply can't match, letting you dump entire external drive collections onto a single unit instead of managing multiple devices with confusing labels. You can store roughly 4,400 hours of HD video, 5.5 million photos, or 440,000 music files which covers most people's entire digital collection with space left over for years of future growth."
"Plug-and-play design works straight out of the box with Windows and Mac computers, with no software installation or superfluous setup processes to waste your time. You just connect the USB cable, wait for your computer to recognize the drive, and start dragging files over like you would with any storage device. Included Rescue Data Recovery Services provide a safety net if the drive fails and offers professional data recovery attempts that normally cost hundreds or thousands of dollars separately."
SSDs offer faster transfer speeds but higher cost-per-gigabyte, making them impractical for large-capacity archival storage. Traditional HDDs remain preferable for bulk data due to lower cost per gigabyte. Seagate cut prices during Black Friday Week, leaving a 22TB external model available for $229 (about $0.01/GB), down from a $599 launch price. The 22TB drive can hold roughly 4,400 hours of HD video, 5.5 million photos, or 440,000 music files, simplifying consolidation of multiple external drives. USB 3.0 provides 120–160 MB/s transfers, suitable for occasional archival access. The drive is plug-and-play for Windows and Mac and includes Rescue Data Recovery Services.
