The 16TB drive connects over USB 3.0 and works with Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.12 or later; TechRadar said users may need to reformat it for Time Machine. It is plug-and-play and requires no software, the report said, and it includes Seagate’s Rescue data recovery services and a one-year warranty. Because it is a desktop model, it needs wall power.

TechRadar said the drive is best for professionals who need a lot of affordable backup or media storage for a desktop PC or Mac, or for users who want to consolidate photos, videos and backups scattered across too many small drives. It advised skipping the drive for users who need something portable, want SSD speed or a faster USB-C connection, or consider a one-year warranty too short for a drive holding this much data.

On price, TechRadar said the $100 discount is modest for a high-capacity drive and that external drive prices have risen over the past year. It said the $420 price is fair by current standards but not a bargain by older ones. Newegg’s gift card offer adds $30 in bonus credit when shoppers buy two $100 gift cards for $200, according to the report.

Editor's Summary

TechRadar reported that Seagate’s 16TB Expansion Desktop drive is selling for $420 at Newegg, $100 below its $550 list price. The drive offers plug-and-play USB 3.0 storage, Rescue data recovery and a one-year warranty, but requires wall power and is not an SSD. The report said the discount is fair given recent external-drive price increases, while noting it is not a bargain by older standards.
