External hard drives are a straightforward way to expand your computer’s storage capacity. Seagate has launched two new desktop storage devices offering between eight and 20 terabytes of storage space.
If you don’t want to part with gameplay recordings, photos, videos and other space-hogging files, you’ll need plenty of storage space. From Seagate, we now have two new external 3.5-inch hard drives for your desk in our range.
The «FireCuda X Vault», with its RGB lighting, is aimed at gamers and content creators. Its sister model is the «One Touch Desktop». It comes in a simple casing.
Features shared by both hard drives
One advantage of both drives is that you only need a single cable for power and data. Your computer supplies power to the drive via the included USB-C cable. To do this, your computer’s USB port must be capable of delivering at least 15 watts.
You can use both drives on computers running Windows 10 or macOS 12 (or later). Using the accompanying toolkit software, you can create mirrored folders so that the contents of your computer are automatically synchronised with the paired folders on the hard drive. On Windows machines, you can also set up backup schedules.
At 5,400 revolutions per minute, they are significantly slower than SSDs and are more suited to data archiving.
«FireCuda X Vault»
The «FireCuda X Vault» is available with storage capacities of 8 and 20 terabytes.
Its most striking feature is the customisable RGB lighting. It is compatible with Windows Dynamic Lighting and, according to Seagate, can synchronise with the colours in your game or on your desktop.
If you buy this external hard drive, you’ll receive one month’s free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan, provided you haven’t subscribed to the plan before. It also includes two months’ Adobe Creative Cloud membership.
«Designed for Xbox on PC», according to Seagate. In other words: the «FireCuda X Vault» is not compatible with your Xbox console. However, you can archive your Xbox game library on your PC onto this drive.
«One Touch Desktop»
This model is currently available with eight terabytes.
In exchange for the lower price, you’ll have to do without RGB lighting. Trial plans for Game Pass and Adobe are also not included.
Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.
