Seagate Expansion Desktop 8TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive

The Seagate STKP8000400 is an external desktop hard drive that gives you a generous 8TB of room for projects, backups, and media collections. It connects through a micro-USB 3.0 port, so any computer with a standard USB 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 Gen 1 connector can recognize the drive right away. An 18W AC adapter feeds the drive consistent power, which means you can leave it on your desk and rely on it for long transfers without worrying about the computer’s USB port supplying enough juice.

Because the drive comes preformatted in exFAT, it works out of the box with both Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.12 or later. If you want to use Apple’s Time Machine, a quick reformat is all that is needed. The included 18-inch USB cable keeps setup simple, and no additional software is required just to start moving files.

Real-world uses are wide-ranging. Photographers and video editors can offload high-resolution footage and free up faster internal drives for active work. Home offices can schedule automatic backups of important documents through the bundled Seagate Toolkit software. Media enthusiasts can store entire libraries of 4K movies or lossless music, and gamers can shift less-played titles off internal SSDs to reclaim space for new releases.

Seagate also bundles Rescue Data Recovery Services for added peace of mind. If the unexpected happens, you have help from technicians who specialize in retrieving data from this exact type of drive. Combined with the Toolkit software, the package rounds out a storage solution that is both straightforward and prepared for future needs.
