Seagate is introducing a new family of Star Wars Beskar Ingot Drives, which will soon be available at the end of the year.
This special edition release is the first in a collaboration to bring designs inspired by the Star Wars franchise to its line of PC gaming storage devices, taking gamers’ battle stations to the next level.
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 collectable 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 twelve 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 battle stations with the external HDD, featuring a customizable RGB LED bar. This external drive is lightweight with simple plug-and-play compatibility, providing gamers with the convenience and flexibility to bring around 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 Star Wars Beskar Ingot Drives will be available soon, in time for the year-end holiday season, and Seagate will reveal more iconic designs inspired by Star Wars throughout the coming year.
Details of pricing and sales channels will be announced closer to the date of release.
