For those seeking a high-capacity backup solution for their PC or Mac, Seagate is currently offering exclusive discounts on its desktop expansion hard drives. A highly popular Seagate external hard drive, featuring 6TB of storage, is now available for just $110, significantly down from its original price of $160. This represents an excellent value for a drive of this capacity. Even greater savings can be found with the 14TB model, priced at $200, which is a substantial $120 reduction from its usual $320 cost.
While the 6TB and 14TB configurations are exclusive to Seagate`s direct sales, making direct competitor price comparisons difficult, other major retailers like Amazon offer an 8TB model for $161 (originally $170). Amazon`s 12TB model, for instance, typically sells for about $260, illustrating that Seagate`s deals often offer more storage per dollar.
Seagate has also extended exclusive discounts to its larger 18TB, 22TB, and 28TB models. The 18TB version boasts the most substantial discount, now priced at only $220 after a $130 reduction, significantly lower than the $300 price seen at retailers like Best Buy.
While the 28TB model is the largest available, the 26TB option presents a superior value. Even though Seagate doesn`t explicitly mark it as an exclusive offer, its current price of $250 (a $100 discount) is $50 cheaper than Best Buy`s deal. Furthermore, the 28TB model, at $330, offers limited additional value for an $80 price increase over the 26TB. Similarly, the 22TB edition, priced just $10 less than the 26TB, offers less compelling value.
Recommended Deals by Capacity:
- 6TB – $110 ($160)

From a value-for-money standpoint, the 6TB, 14TB, and 26TB models stand out as the top recommendations.
All these drives come with a three-year limited warranty, enhanced by Seagate`s Rescue Data Recovery Services for complete peace of mind. They support USB 3.0 for rapid file transfers and offer an incredibly simple plug-and-play setup for both PC and Mac users, requiring only a power adapter and USB connection.
While not ideal for storing games (SSDs are generally better for that purpose), these HDDs are perfect for archiving large media files such as photos, videos, and other documents, freeing up valuable space on your primary drive.
The drives boast a minimalist design, typically a sleek black box with subtle accents, ensuring they blend seamlessly into most desktop environments. Their compact dimensions, averaging around 7 x 5 x 1 inches, make them space-efficient.
