Amazon kicked off Black Friday by dropping the Seagate 4TB external hard drive to a record low of $99, down from its usual $124 price. External storage solves the constant problem of running out of space on laptops, game consoles and desktops without requiring you to open up your machine. This 4TB capacity gives you enough room to store your entire game library, backup your computer multiple times, or archive years of photos and videos. The drive’s universal compatibility with Windows, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation means you buy it once and use it everywhere without reformatting or compatibility headaches.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity
The Seagate 4TB HDD doesn’t need any software installation or setup process to get it up and running. You connect the provided 18-inch-long USB 3.0 cable between the drive and your computer, and the OS immediately recognizes it as available storage. Windows users will see the drive pop up in File Explorer; Mac users will find it in Finder; and console gamers can format it via their system settings in roughly 30 seconds. This is true plug-and-play functionality with no troublesome proprietary software, driver downloads, or cumbersome setup wizards.
In theory, the USB 3.0 interface can reach transfer speeds of as high as 5Gbps but realistically, this works out to 100-120MB/s for sequential file transfers. You can back up your entire photo library in the time it takes to make coffee or transfer 4K video footage without waiting around all afternoon. You will be able to copy a 50GB game in about 7-8 minutes. This speed is more than adequate for directly playing games from the drive on either an Xbox or a PlayStation, though load times will be slower compared to internal SSDs.
The compact design measures approximately 4.5 inches long by 3 inches wide and less than an inch thick, so it easily slips into a laptop bag or backpack. Weighing only a few ounces, you hardly know the drive is in the bag when on the move. Finished in matte black to resist fingerprints, it looks professional when plugged into your laptop for home or office use. The rounded edges and smooth surfaces keep the drive from catching on contents inside a bag or scratching other devices. Seagate has engineered the enclosure to shield the internal drive against minor drops and bumps common during normal travel.
The 4TB of capacity offers enough space for around 1,000 hours of HD video, 80,000 high-resolution photos, or around 50 of the latest AAA games. Xbox and PlayStation users are able to install their entire game collections and not have to continuously uninstall titles to make room for new releases. Archive completed projects, store raw footage, or maintain multiple backup versions of important files without running out of space on the drive.
In addition, Seagate bundles the drive with one year of Rescue Service which will help you get your data back in case the drive dies or you accidentally delete some important files. That service alone can save you thousands of dollars compared to paying for professional data recovery out of pocket. With decades of experience in the storage business, the company’s drives power everything from consumer devices to enterprise data centers.
At $99, this Seagate external hard drive costs just 2.4 cents per gigabyte, which is exceptionally good value for reliable branded storage. Amazon’s Black Friday pricing brings the cost down to where buying cloud storage subscriptions for the same capacity would cost more over two years.
