Go big with a 28TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro, now just $479 in Newegg's limited sale — bargain storage priced at just $17 per TB

One of Seagate's largest Ironwolf Pro hard disk drives is on sale at Newegg, with 75 bucks knocked off the list price in their "Gametober" sales event. If you're looking for a reliable drive for a NAS or other backup setup, one of Seagate's enterprise-grade drives will offer extra peace of mind when storing your precious data.

Today's deal is on Seagate's IronWolf Pro HDD (28TB capacity) for $479.99, available from Newegg. The list price for this drive is $556.49, making this a 14% discount. The sale is part of Newegg's Gametober sales event, which has replaced Fantastech II, which ended last week.

Some might think that mechanical hard disk drives are a relic of the past and are far too slow for modern needs. While nowhere near as fast as the latest PCIe Gen5 SSDs, what they lack in terms of speed they make up for in price per capacity and longevity. These particular enterprise-grade drives from Seagate are designed to be operated 24/7 all day, every day.
