22 TB Desktop External Hard Drive

This 22 TB desktop external hard drive uses a USB 3.2 (Gen 2) interface to deliver up to 280 MB/s read and write speeds. It targets creative professionals and power users who need high-capacity storage for large media libraries and fast backup workflows. The Ultrastar enterprise-class drive inside is built for demanding workloads and high-value content. The stackable all-aluminum enclosure includes anchor points for DIT carts or mounting plates.

USB 3.2 (Gen 2) 10 Gbps Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 (Gen 2) connection running at 10 Gbps. Your host must provide a USB-C port that supports this generation to reach the advertised 280 MB/s throughput. Older USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports will limit transfer rates well below the drive’s capability. The drive comes formatted for Mac and can be reformatted for Windows without extra software.

Sustained 7200 RPM Enterprise Performance

Under sustained load the 7200 RPM Ultrastar enterprise-class mechanism maintains consistent throughput rather than throttling after a short burst. The all-aluminum enclosure acts as a heatsink to dissipate heat during long ingest or export sessions. LED brightness can be dimmed or disabled to avoid distraction in dark editing suites. The three-year warranty reflects the drive’s design for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 280 MB/s read speed mean when the drive is connected to my computer?

It means large files such as HD video projects can be copied to or from the drive at up to 280 MB/s, limited by the USB 3.2 Gen 2 link and the 7200 RPM Ultrastar mechanism inside.

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface cap in practice?

The USB-C port runs at 10 Gbps, so the practical ceiling is the drive’s own 280 MB/s sequential rate; the interface does not bottleneck it further.

What does the drive need to sit on a desk or mount to a cart?

The stackable all-aluminium enclosure has anchor points for a DIT cart or mounting plate and requires only an external power supply and the supplied USB-C cable.
