WD Elements 20TB External HDD: was $529 now $279
This external 20TB HDD attaches to your system via a USB 3.0 interface with a Micro-USB Type B connector. Performance expectations should be tempered, as traditional HDDs over a 5Gb/s USB cable are unlikely to break any transfer speed records. However, if you require large storage volumes and aren't in a hurry, this is a perfect compromise between price and performance. The enclosure comes with an AC adaptor to power the enclosure.
