Capacity and Interface

The Seagate Expansion STKP16000400 is a 16TB 3.5-inch desktop external hard drive that connects through USB 3.0. It delivers a large pool of storage in a single enclosure for users who need to add capacity quickly. No internal installation is required.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits Windows 10 or Mac OS X 10.12 users with an available USB 3.0 port who want drag-and-drop file storage for documents, photos and videos. It is not for buyers who need bus-powered portability, internal drive speeds or a ruggedised enclosure for travel.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 16TB capacity combined with the USB 3.0 interface and mandatory power adapter. If your workflow needs more space than that or cannot accommodate a desktop form factor with external power, this is not the right part.
