Memory prices are one of the hottest topics these days due to their very high prices. Deals and discounts are getting rared almost every passing day though with some special bundles and combo offers you can get lucky to find them at decent prices. We covered some of them earlier in this dedicated article; you get the option to pick both AMD and Intel-based mainboards.
RAM aside, other hardware components like GPUs, and storage products are also in the firing line and as such, SSD and HDD deals have become a rare place. If you are looking for some of those then you may finally be able to breath a sigh of relief. That is because Seagate is offering one of its biggest Expansion external hard disk drive (HDD) for a low price of just $280 (purchase link at the end of the article), which is an astonishingly good deal in these trying times. That means you are paying just ~$10.77 per TB.
As long as your system supports SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1/USB 3.0 (5Gbps) these HDDs should work nicely. The Seagate Expansion packs a rated spindle speed of 7200 RPM making it fairly fast for a hard drive.
These are compatible with Windows 10 and 11 as well as macOS X 10.12 and newer. The operating temperature of these drives is typically between 5 to 35 Celsius. The box contains an 18-watt AC power adapter alongside the USB 3.0 cable.
Seagate officially does not state whether its Expansion series of drives is based on CMR or Conventional Magnetic Recording, also called Perpendicular Recording. However, typically, drive sizes above 8TB are CMR-based, and such drives are typically great for heavy-duty usage like in NAS or home (media) servers. Even assuming these are based on SMR or Shingled Magnetic Recording technology, these HDDs should still be great as backup drives.
