Seagate Expansion 8TB 3.5" Desktop external HDD, Black

The Seagate Expansion desktop drive provides 8 TB of storage capacity, built around a 3.5-inch internal hard disk. It is designed for stationary use as a centralized storage or backup solution for large digital libraries, including high-resolution photos, videos, and project files. The unit connects to a computer using a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, which is backwards compatible with older USB standards. For operation, the drive requires a connection to a mains power source via the included external AC adapter, which is typical for desktop-class external HDDs.

The enclosure has a compact vertical design intended for placement on a desk. Its setup is simplified by plug-and-play operation, allowing for immediate use upon connection without manual driver installation. The drive is formatted for compatibility with Windows 10 systems out of the box. It can also be reformatted for use with macOS, supporting versions from Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra and later. A USB-A cable and the power adapter are supplied with the unit.
