Even the best external hard drives are starting to appear at highly escalated prices or are out of stock entirely, thanks to AI data centre demand. It's one of the reasons why I cling to any new storage releases in hopes a new drive will be available at its original MSRP for at least a moment, which is why I was pleased to hear about the Seagate FireCuda X Vault.
The FireCuda X Vault is a massive external drive that's available today starting from $279.99 (Seagate). It's available in both 8TB and 20TB capacities, and is designed to complement internal drives by providing extra storage for your ever-growing game library and other content. The best part? This chonky hard drive doesn't require wall power to keep it running.
