Massive 20TB WD Drive Back in Stock!
29 Nov
Summary
- WD's 20TB external hard drive is back after selling out.
- This drive offers 20TB capacity for $259, a record low price.
- Ideal for backups and media libraries, not for speed-critical tasks.
Following a week-long stock-out that frustrated many buyers, WD has replenished its supply of the highly sought-after 20TB external hard drive. This desirable storage solution was made available on Black Friday for a record-low price of $259 on Amazon, significantly down from its original $349.
The drive's 20TB capacity is substantial, capable of storing millions of photos or extensive video and music libraries, making it ideal for content creators and large data archivists. Its desktop form factor, utilizing a 3.5-inch hard drive mechanism, provides this vast space at a cost-per-gigabyte that solid-state alternatives cannot match.
While USB 3.0 offers adequate transfer speeds for typical backup and archival tasks, it's not as fast as SSDs, which is acceptable given its intended use for cold storage. The plug-and-play functionality ensures easy setup on both Windows and Mac systems without requiring additional software or drivers, making it a convenient, stationary solution for media libraries or backup archives.
