If your photo library, video files, or game installs keep pushing your internal storage to its limit, an external hard drive is one of the cheapest ways to expand. The Seagate Expansion 22TB External Hard Drive gives you a serious chunk of headroom in a single desktop unit, currently discounted on Amazon. The drive connects to your computer via USB 3.0 and will immediately appear with no further installation required. Plus, with 22TB of space, you can back up your whole computer, media library, hundreds of games, and more.

A hard drive with plenty of extra space for all your files and photos
To put 22TB in perspective, you’re looking at thousands of hours of 1080p video, millions of photos, or hundreds of AAA game installs. Once you start splitting your files between an active drive and a long-term archive, even big internal SSDs run out fast. The Expansion is a desktop drive, so it stays plugged in at your workstation rather than traveling with you.
Getting started with this drive is easy. For Windows, you just have to plug it into a USB port, and you’re good to go. For Mac, you’ll need to format it first, but that’s the only extra step needed. It should be noted, though, that this drive requires an external power adapter. So, it’s not the most portable model around.
