Seagate Expansion Desktop 4TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive SSD

The Seagate STKP4000400 is a desktop external hard drive that adds 4TB of storage through a straightforward USB 3.0 connection. It arrives preformatted in exFAT, so a Windows 10 or macOS 10.12 system will recognize the drive immediately without any reformatting.

Setup takes only a moment. Plug the included 18 inch USB cable into a free USB Type-A port, connect the 18 watt power adapter, and the drive is ready to accept files at transfer speeds that can reach up to 5 Gbps. Because it uses widely available micro-USB 3.0, replacing the cable down the road is simple if you ever misplace the original.

Seagate bundles its Toolkit software to automate scheduled backups or one-click file mirroring, and the drive is eligible for limited Rescue Data Recovery Services. These extras give peace of mind when you are archiving photo libraries, raw video footage, or large project folders that would overwhelm the internal storage of a laptop or small form factor PC.

The plastic enclosure is designed for stationary desktop use. It does not include built-in encryption, active cooling, or rugged features, so it performs best when left in a stable environment such as a home office, studio workstation, or student desk. Whether you want a single location for family media, an overflow drive for console games, or a quick way to consolidate work files, this Expansion model delivers generous capacity without complicated setup.
