Seagate manufactures and distributes devices with storage capacity ranging from 500 GB to 16 TB. Of course, the cost associated with these devices varies immensely. For a 500 GB SSD (the Ultra Touch SSD), Seagate reports a suggested price of $84.99. On the other hand, a 16 TB Expansion device has a suggested price of $389.99.\n\nAmong Seagate storage hard drives is the Seagate Expansion. The Seagate Expansion is a 2 TB HDD.
