Seagate 22TB External Hard Drive Drops 60%, Amazon Clears Stock for Black Friday - Kotaku
"The h uge 22-terabyte capacity stores around 5,500 hours of HD video, 5.5 million high-resolution photos, or 440,000 songs at resolutions without compression or quality loss. With this much space, you can keep everything instead of making painstaking choices over what to delete or archive. Professional photographers maintain RAW file libraries spanning entire careers without resorting to cloud services. Video editors store entire project files complete with all source footage, renders, and iterations available instantly."
"The Seagate 22TB HDD offers enough capacity for massive photo libraries and years of accumulated digital content in one device, and Amazon just dropped this drive to a record low of $229 for Black Friday, and while that compares to a typical $249 price, this same drive sold for $599 until just days ago. That represents a 60% discount from the price you've seen throughout the past year and the lowest this capacity has ever cost."
"USB 3.0 connectivity delivers transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps under ideal conditions; you could be moving large files in minutes, not hours. The real world, of course, will vary depending on the USB implementation on your host computer and the drive's mechanical performance, but sustained transfers of about 100-150 MB per second for sequential file operations are within reason."
Amazon reduced the Seagate 22TB HDD to $229 for Black Friday, a record low compared with typical $249 and recent $599 pricing, representing roughly a 60% discount from earlier prices. The 22-terabyte capacity stores about 5,500 hours of HD video, 5.5 million high-resolution photos, or 440,000 songs without compression. The drive enables photographers and video editors to retain RAW libraries and entire project files, including 4K and 8K footage, on a single device. USB 3.0 connectivity supports up to 5 Gbps with real-world sustained transfers near 100–150 MB/s for sequential operations. Seagate includes Rescue Data Recovery Services for mechanical failures.
