Seagate has announced the launch of three new FireCuda external hard drives with designs inspired by the stories and characters of Marvel Studios Black Panther.
The new discs join the manufacturer’s collection of special storage units and pay homage to superhero T’Challa, Princess Shuri and elite warrior Okoye. They’re officially licensed by Marvel and highlight character traits with customizable RGB LED lighting.
Technically, FireCuda external hard drives connect to ports USB3.2 Gen1 and are backward compatible with previous versions of the standard. They are compatible with PC, Mac and PlayStation and Xbox consoles, distributed in several versions according to storage capacity, up to 2TB.
They are cool for fans of Marvel’s Black Panther, although it cannot be ignored that they continue being hard drives penalized in performance and size compared to SSDs, which have also transferred their enormous advantages to external storage solutions.
Maybe it’s this one external storagethe only segment of the market where hard drives still have a place, obsolete compared to hard drives, but which can still be used and in fact we recommend turning them into external ones that you replace your equipment.
The process is simple and cheap as you can see in this tutorial and its various uses, for example to increase the storage capacity of other computers or consoles; save backup copies; use them as boot media to install operating systems or as an external disk for entertainment content that, connected to a router or a smart tv, allows us to watch movies or series on the local network.
Mind you, they’re not as cool as these officially licensed Black Panther custom FireCudas for sale at a bargain price. $109.99. Seagate additionally offers one year of rescue data recovery services.
