Affordable backup storage awaits with Seagate’s 16TB external HDD at $250 ($15/TB)

While, for some folks, cloud storage and a smaller capacity portable SSD might do the trick when it comes to backups and the like, something like the more economical external hard drives can be a much affordable way to add some extra peace of mind to a setup. And the Seagate Expansion 16TB External USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive adds a whole lot of it down at *$249.99 shipped*. Regularly $330 at Best Buy where it is now matched, it is also matched at Newegg right now. While we have seen this model down in the $230 range at Amazon over the last year, and it’s certainly not as speedy as a portable SSD solution, it is a whole lot more affordable at roughly $15.50 per TB – you’re not going to get anywhere close to that with an SSD. Head below for more details.
