Seagate Expansion 22TB External Hard Drive HDD - USB 3.0 (STKP22000400)

I use a large external hard drive for two purposes: ordinary backup and to keep my very large ripped CD collection of music for which my main computer disc simply doesn't have room. The large size allows backups with multiple versions so I can go back in time if I need to. Belts and braces, an old school idea. My previous drive died suddenly and this was the best cost/size value I could find from a reputable vendor. In the past, I have had trouble with Seagate drives on my various Mac's, but this one worked immediately without a single problem. It is now handling all the relevant backups (there are several including some cloud stuff) and my music. It is quiet and, so far as I can tell, faster than the drive it replaced. It also seems to be interfering far less in other devices and their operations than the old drive did. That may be, however, because the old drive was complaining about being ill before it died completely and this new one is just being "normally" competent. I gave it 5 stars because it is doing what it is supposed to do without causing any trouble. Assuming it doesn't die a week from now, then it was a good buy. Do remember to reformat away from exFAT before using it on a Mac.

22TBとありますが、実質は20TB使用可能でした。

Llegó antes de la fecha. Es más pesado y ancho que el modelo anterior probablemente por la capacidad en terabytes. Espero que la durabilidad vaya acorde.

I have several smaller hard drives I use to store photos and old files but they are getting old and it is hard to organize files, especially photos across several drives so I was in the market for a large hard drive to better organize my old files. I opted for the Seagate 22TB drive because of its' size and, for the size of the drive, it was relatively inexpensive compared to other options. Things I like about the drive: 1) It has a large capacity but is relatively small compared to my other external drives; 2) it is plug and play. I have some drives my system has a hard time identifying sometimes but there are no issues with this drive; 3) everything works out of the box. I have had no issues so far; 4) I use it on 3 systems and it works well on all 3 systems and is easy to move from one to the other. It is not my fastest drive. have a portable Sandisk SSD that is faster but it has not been a problem. You can hear it working but it is not annoying. Overall I am very pleased with the Seagate Drive.

Just got the HD today. It is doing what it's supposed to do. The speed is fast, but a bit of rumbling when in use. Nothing too major, just put it on a piece of cloth and it should absorb some noise. The LED light is bright (from the inside), so if you have the HD in your bedroom, it might disturb your sleep. I got a 22TB HD at about $400 after tax. So it was about $18CAD per TB, pretty inexpensive compared to what I've bought before, 8TB for $200. Now I don't have to worry about insufficient storage for my photos (JPG and RAW).
