Many will buy such a large capacity drive without thinking about the risks of ending up with a non-working drive even if this particular model has a 1-year warranty. Remember to backup your backups as well. Ideally using another drive of similar capacity paired with an online cloud-based backup solution.
Boxing Day sales are a great time to find extra storage solutions - and this one certainly caught my eye. The Seagate Expansion 24TB External Hard Drive is now $279.99 (was $329.99) at Bestbuy. That's less than 12 cents per Gigabyte, the lowest I've seen for a while.
Today's best Seagate Expansion 24TB external hard drive deal
Did I mention that 24TB is a huge amount of storage?
If you so wanted, you could back up 200 HD, extended edition copies of the Lord of the Rings movies (including the Hobbit prequels) and still have a little room left over - that's around 4000 hours of high-quality, 1080p video.
Alternatively, you could store around 5-6 million songs. That's a lot of Taylor Swift. It's an impressive bit of kit with a very impressive price tag. Remember that it comes with Seagate's own free data recovery services for the duration of the warranty (i.e. one year).
But don't just take my word for it. This product is a firm favorite amongst users and has received an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 from over 250,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews.
