Seagate FireCuda X Vault (8TB) review: A USB-powered, RGB-lit hard drive aimed at gamers

Tom’s Hardware reviewed Seagate’s FireCuda X Vault, a USB-C bus-powered external hard drive aimed at gamers.

The drive offers 8TB and 20TB options, RGB lighting, bundled software trials, and a two-year data recovery service.

It is much cheaper than SSD alternatives, but its file transfer speeds stay below 200 MB/s.

Seagate is positioning traditional spinning storage as a gamer-friendly, high-capacity backup and game-library option.
