I’ve been a camera nerd for 20-ish years, and as a result, my photo archive takes up 12TB of space all by itself. Am I a photo hoarder? Yes. Am I willing to change? Absolutely not, especially when I can get a 20TB (that’s terabytes, or 1,000 gigabytes) for $279. This is the largest consumer hard drive on the market at the moment and it’s just $20 more expensive than the 12TB version. That’s nearly doube the storage space for less than the price of an 11 p.m. Taco Bell order. These have been selling for $325 lately because they aren’t easy to get, so a deeper discount is a real treat.

I have been using these drives as a supplement to my cloud storage for several years now. They’re very simple. It’s basically a Western Digital drive inside of a housing with a USB 3.0 port on it. It’s a full-sized desktop drive inside, so it requires external power, but I’ve owned probably 10 of these in recent years and haven’t had one fail. They’re pre-formatted for Windows, but a quick, simple format makes them compatible with Macs as well.
