Seagate's new FireCuda X Vault is a slow but solid way to beat the SSD price crisis

Pcgamer.com and 2 more

Seagate's FireCuda X Vault is a bus-powered 8TB or 20TB external HDD with USB-C power, no wall outlet required, and RGB accents.
Real-world transfer speeds hover around 200 MB/s, which is slower than SSDs but adequate for large-capacity storage.
A notable caveat is USB-C power delivery: the host PC port must supply at least 15 W for reliable operation.
At nearly 7.75 x 2.1 x 5.25 inches and about 2.75 pounds, the X Vault is bulkier than compact rivals, better suited for desktop setups.
PC Gamer endorses the FireCuda X Vault for laptop gaming storage thanks to ample capacity, especially with a single M.2 slot in some rigs.
Both Tom's Hardware and PC Gamer note the drive excels for cold storage rather than active gaming due to slower speeds.
Seagate’s X Vault is compared to other external options (One Touch HDD, Desk Drive) to illustrate value across form factors.
A built-in data recovery service is included during the warranty period, adding value beyond storage capacity.
Users may need a capable USB hub or dock with power delivery if their setup lacks sufficient USB-C ports or PD power.
Despite high capacity, the X Vault does not run games directly from the drive; it serves as storage for game libraries and content.
The FireCuda X Vault is positioned as a cost-effective storage expansion option relative to SSDs, especially at 8TB or 20TB capacities.
