Seagate Expansion 12TB External Hard Drive - USB 3.0, with Rescue Data Recovery (STKP12000400)

I purchased this Seagate external HDD specifically to back up my entire media collection and other files that don't require SSD-level speeds, and it has been serving its purpose flawlessly. Transfer speeds are exactly what you'd expect from a traditional HDD — more than fast enough for large media files, archives, and backups. For cold storage and long-term media storage, it's perfect. I didn't need SSD performance, and this drive delivers reliable capacity at a fraction of the cost. The biggest win here is the value. The price per GB is extremely hard to beat. If you're building out a media library, Plex server, or just need dependable backup storage without overspending, this is an excellent choice. No complaints so far — it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Highly recommended.

Seagate Expansions consistently offer some of the best value available, especially now that HDD prices are spiking across the board. The 22TB drives I purchased are a little on the loud side, but for the performance you get for the price I honestly can't hold that against them. Great drives, I will likely pick up a few more at this price. #sweepstakes
