Seagate announces three all-new external hard disk drives (HDD) featuring designs inspired by the stories and characters of Marvel Studios' Black Panther. The officially licensed HHDs are available this month and join the company's line of special edition storage devices. Paying homage to T'Challa (aka Black Panther), Shuri, and Okoye, these special edition HDDs deliver one-of-a-kind pieces of Marvel artwork to fans and highlight traits of the characters with customizable RGB LED lighting: magenta to honor Black Panther, cyan for the innovative style of Princess Shuri, and yellow for the elite strength of the warrior, Okoye.

With up to 2 TB of capacity, the FireCuda external HDDs are compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox so tech enthusiasts can capture and access a wealth of media, files, and games, regardless of operating system. USB bus-powered and designed with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection for universal compatibility and quick transfer speeds, the lightweight drives make it easy for Black Panther fans to take their whole library on the road.



Exclusive to Walmart USA and the Asia-Pacific region, today Seagate also introduces the King of Wakanda Special Edition FireCuda External HDD. With the same features described above, this drive also presents a unique design of T'Challa gazing proudly upon his kingdom, along with magenta RGB LED lighting that drive owners can customize.

The special edition drives include Seagate's one-year limited warranty and one-year of Rescue Data Recovery Services so users have peace of mind as they embark on adventure.

Each drive is available for purchase for $109.99.

The market for (useless) 'it is cool and pretty' feature with no other benefits is ever growing.
Global recession anyone?

I think they look quite nice, esp. the red one. :p Wouldn't buy them for it's intended use (Seagate inside, cough) & I like my hardware more minimalist.
Could put them on a wall and just connect the LED's. Bit expensive. Kinda like the the decadent alternative to Nanoleaf, lol.

Who the hell buys external rusting spins nowadays? That's so stupid and such a waste. If those would have been SSDs, some 12 years old might have bought them....

I think 12 year olds would rather have cabbage patch stickers on those.

When you need the TB by the 10s, rusting HHD is your only backup choice.
But those 'up to 2TB' junk is useless other than a gift to your child.

I do. Incredibly cheap storage and secondly on my rig for the past 3 year the HDD runs COOLER than the SSD. The average is 3c less. Since both of them are on a Icy Dock system and gets the same amount of air flow, for my rig and set up it is an absolutely a no brainer to keep my rig as cool as possible.

Because all of that heat, regardless of what general case you use, that excessive heat gets dumped and circulated inside of the case in question.

SSD are for your OS and programs that you want your speed/performance.

HDD's are for your cheap storage.

That is the way I've been doing it since the first Kensington SSD's came out. And in my case it works incredibly well.

Respectfully - if you throttle an SSD to HDD speeds you will notice almost identical heat output.

So I wouldn't go around mentioning "heat" as an HDD advantage.

Stick with "for cold storage, I use HDD because it is cost advantageous"

Done.
