Deal Details
It's been in stock for a few weeks but at $560 price point, but I've been checking their page daily and noticed its down to $499.99 today. Seagate tends to do algorithmic dynamic pricing to manage their inventory, so don't be surprised if it changes. Every iteration of the larger capacity drives were out of stock on Seagate's main website for the past 6 months and they only recently are showing the 28TB and 20TB in stock (still near historically high prices).

Overall, seeing some promising signs that demand is softening and we might see better prices going forward. But I'm sure we can't take that for granted, might be worth it at this price point depending on how badly you need the storage.

Wow I got 24TB from Barracuda (but really an EXOS drive) from best Buy for $270 in Feb 2025. That is my new benchmark. when prices fall back there in mid to late 2028, i'll bite again. Till then, HOLD THE LIME, people!

Why does every single hard drive post turn into people reminiscing? It's not 2025 anymore. Yes, prices have drastically gone up. We all know.

I remember buying top tier mobos for $250...
That was 20 years ago. Does that men that a top tier mobo at $1200 today is a bad deal?!? 😵

You work with what ya got, and I could not find an 20TB drive in the last 3-4 weeks below this price. (I'm sure that someone will post a listing that would never ship).

Anyway, it looks like either Seagate's site is taking an overnite hiatus, or the external Expansion drives are no longer available.

(EDIT) Just answered my own question....
The Seagate Store is temporarily closed.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

The Seagate Store is currently experiencing a temporary closure due to planned maintenance.

December 3, 2025 I got the Seagate Expansion 26TB for $249.99 off NewEgg.
Damn prices have gotten awful for storage as well. I didn't even realize this. As I haven't look. I still hate that I missed out the last time BestBuy had the WD Easystore 18TB for $200 a few years ago.
