Seagate 20TB External Hard Drive Just $0.01 Per GB, Amazon Rushes to Empty Its Inventory
The amount of photos, videos and files that we have on our devices makes traditional storage options obsolete. If you have a hard drive that has 2, 3, 4, or even 5TB of space, it is almost useless when a single vacation's worth of high-res photos and video can take up ample space. That's why smart people are looking for big, reliable external drives, and what better time to upgrade to an external drive? Seagate's long history of reliability and durability makes them a great brand to go with: Amazon has the Seagate expansion 20TB external hard drive at a record low (and all time low) price now of $229, over 50% off of the launch price of $499. What is even better is the 22TB and 24TB models are on sale as well for $289 and $279 respectively. See at Amazon Lifetime Storage Why take someone's word when here is a drive that could last a lifetime? The Seagate Expansion 20TB is a 'long term investment' in your digital life. If you're a creative professional or just someone who wants to keep every precious memory safe, this drive could last you years of content. Add to that Seagate's reputation for reliability means, you can rest assured that your data will be safe and secure for ages. In comparison to cloud storage, which will run a minimum of $10 a month (and often much higher for larger capacities), this one-time payment option is a bargain. The process of opening the box to setup the Seagate 20TB HDD is fantastically easy: The drive is designed to be very simple to use and you just plug in the included power adapter and USB 3.0 cable and you are all set. USB 3.0 has the added benefit of helping to move files quickly and efficiently with minimal time wasted for large files. Also, it will seamlessly work on either your Windows computer or Mac. What we really liked about this drive is the included Rescue Data Recovery Services. Accidents can happen to anyone, and when they do, having a safety net can be critical. Seagate's data recovery service takes the worry out of it by knowing if something goes wrong, experts could recover your files. Unfortunately, many external drives don't offer you any data recovery protection, so this is a real plus for Seagate. Since Seagate Expansion 20TB is a desktop-type external hard, it works perfectly in a home office, home studio space, and to help anyone centralize their digital file storage. The 3.5-inch size will also provide better performance and reliability than the small-portable external options. Plus, the shape and size of this product looks really nice and easy to manage. If you were going to upgrade your method of backup and storage options, now is the time to do so. See at Amazon

Best Buy Offers Dell USB External Drive for DVDs and CDs at Almost Free to Revive Your Old Files and Movies
Computer manufacturers may have cut bait on the CD and DVD as useful devices, but we haven't, and neither has Dell. Their DW316 Slim External USB drive reads and writes DVDs and CDs, and if you still have a stack of discs lying around with great files, music, movies, or games on them, it's well worth the $30 you'll need to spend at Best Buy for this ultra-thin plug-and-play drive. Those movies, albums, games, and other software sitting in your house in CD or DVD form aren't going to be compatible with any new PC laptop or desktop computer, simply because manufacturers have stopped including optical drives in their new models. But the Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive is an inexpensive plug-and-play solution that will save your discs and files from obsolescence. See at Best Buy Don't Be Left Behind Tech evolution is inevitable and tends to move extremely quickly. But while the early forms of storage like floppy discs were limited by size and usually held either word processing documents or old software that was rendered obsolete by newer operating systems, the CD and DVD could hold anything from precious home movies that were moved over from film to those cult-classic movies and albums that you just can't find in any of the streaming services. The Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive can read all of those optical formats, and for PC users running Windows from version 7 up, it's purely plug and play. It draws its power directly from your computer, so there's no power adapter. It reads and writes at 8x speed (6x for DVD-RWs), and since it runs with a USB 2.0 interface, it may be even faster than the optical drives that used to come built into laptops and desktops. Slim Is In The Dell DW316 won't come at the expense of precious desk space either, since it's a mere 5.7 by 5.4 inches, barely over a half-inch thick, and weighs less than half a pound. The 24-inch USB cord gives you the freedom to place it wherever you like. Even if you're just needing to move those disc-bound files to something more permanent, like a cloud service or a multi-gigabyte external drive, the modest $30 price of the Dell DW316 Slim External USB drive during this Best Buy sale is a worthwhile price to pay to safeguard your older files and personal treasures and ensure they don't become victims of tech evolution.
