Whats Included
  • Seagate Expansion desktop hard drive, 18-inch (45.72cm) USB 3.0 cable 18W power adapter, Quick start guide, Rescue Data Recovery Services

Q: Does this Seagate Expansion hard drive come with any data recovery services?

A: Yes, the Seagate Expansion comes with Rescue Data Recovery Services for added peace of mind.

Q: What is the storage capacity of this Seagate hard drive?

A: This Seagate Expansion desktop drive has a storage capacity of 20TB.

Q: Does this Seagate hard drive require any software for setup on a Mac?

A: While this hard drive is compatible with both Windows and Mac, reformatting is required for use with Apple Time Machine.

Q: What type of interface does this Seagate hard drive use?

A: This hard drive uses a USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfer speeds.

Q: How do I save files to this external hard drive?

A: This hard drive allows for easy file saving with a simple drag-and-drop method right out of the box.

Q: Why the discrepancy between advertised storage capacity and actual, usable storage capacity? e.g., 20 TB advertised capacity but only 18.2 TB usable storage capacity (as reported by any/all computers running any/all OS - Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc)

A: It's because the storage manufactures measures in base 10, where OS measures in base 2. HDD 1000 bytes vs OS 1024 bytes (2^10). For TB drives, the conversion/correction factor is 0.90949. So 20TB HDD * 0.90949 = 18.189TB actual usable in OS.

Q: Will this work with xbox series x

A: Nope, i just tried and no go, i have to return mine and buy the 16TB version. This is from the xbox website: Note When connecting external drives via USB 3.0, do not connect any single drive larger than 16 TB, and no more than three external drives total at the same time. External storage larger than that will not work.

Q: Could this be used on a ps5

A: Yes, it can be used with ps5 as an external storage through a USB. However, expect the speeds to be around 240mb/s.

    Massive storage, but only 1-Year Warranty

    Seagate Expansion 20TB External USB Hard Drive arrived in retail box, 1-Year Warranty. The power adapter included several changeable international power plug types. MicroUSB 3.0 cable plug. Fairly quiet, but does make a chugging sound. Runs hot 55C in the enclosure. Drive inside is a Seagate BarraCuda ST20000DM001-3Y3103, Made in Thailand. Actual capacity 18.19 TB free space (20,000,586,850,304 bytes). Fast speeds, Sequential 246 MB/s, 239 MB/s R/W, 7200 rpm. About the same performance as an IronWolf Pro. Ran a full surface scan, 30+ hours. No issues, works fine. Good enough for simple NAS storage.

    Great Price for a Large Capacity Drive

    It's a great value, especially if you can catch it on sale. Performance is good for a hard drive. It does run rather hot, over 50C, and makes disconcertingly loud clicking and clunking noises, especially when it starts up. I'm assuming this is normal for this drive model and that nothing is wrong with it until proven otherwise.

    Shuckable

    Bought two, shucked them, no pin mod needed. They're working great in my synology nas. I stress tested them both, did a secure erase followed by a full smart test and both worked fine. Opening up the enclosure was a bit of a mess. There are plastic clips on each side, in the center. Google says these might be HAMR drives, which is newer HD tech that Seagate uses and their long term reliability is kinda unknown. Time will tell. No issues with temps, they run cooler than my WD Red Plus.
