The first release in the collaboration celebrates the legends of
the Star Wars Mandalorian™ galaxy. These drives bring the iconic
Star Wars “precious metal” aesthetic to the FireCuda line-up. The
special edition designs will be available in M.2 NVMe, 2.5-inch
SATA, and external HDD formats. Each drive resembles an ingot of
Beskar™, including its Imperial stamp featured prominently in the
series, making these drives the ultimate collectible for Star Wars
fans.
“We are thrilled to bring unique, iconic designs from one of the
world’s most popular franchises to the forefront of every gamer’s
battle station,” said Jeff Fochtman, Senior Vice President of
Business and Marketing at Seagate Technology. “This collaboration
appeals to global audiences including gamers, PC builders, and Star
Wars enthusiasts alike.”
Seagate’s fastest M.2 2280 SSD, the PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD features
speeds up to nine times faster than SATA-based SSDs, delivering
sequential read/write performance up to 7000/6850MB/s. It is also
built with a sleek heatsink design for premium installation
flexibility and peak performance. Designed with a slim 2.5-inch
form factor, the SATA SSD allows for versatile installation and
build options. Gamers can light up their battlestations with the
external HDD, featuring a customizable RGB LED bar. This external
drive is lightweight with simple plug-and-play compatibility,
making it easy for gamers to take their whole library on the road.
The new drives include Seagate’s five-year warranty and three-years
of Rescue Data Recovery Services™ so gamers have peace of mind.
The PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD will be available in 500GB ($159.99) and
1TB ($259.99), the SATA SSD will be available in 1TB ($159.99) and
2TB ($269.99), and the external HDD will be available in 2TB
($99.99).
Though the Star Wars saga extends over millennia, the wait for
this release is not long. The Star Wars Beskar™ Ingot Drives are
coming soon, in time for the winter holiday season. Seagate will
reveal more iconic designs inspired by Star Wars throughout the
coming year.
