Top positive review

Storage, speed and dependability. I use it for gaming with no problems.

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023

This is my second one. Works great! I'll be purchasing two more for my youngest daughter. No tech support rated because I have never had a reason to contact them. I am an avid PC gamer and for storage, speed, and ease of installing (just connect it and your set) it can't be beat. Very dependable

lights stop working second day after hooking up the 8tb hdd .

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024

this was very cool when I first set it up. But now I'm very disappointed because the lights have stopped working. and if not that fact it takes too long to send it back for replacement but I would have to transfer all my games yet again, I would send the 8 TB HHD back for replacement.

Works perfectly as back up

This drive is fantastic as a higher end back up. All my graphic design projects and photography are backed up here. Last one I had lasted 5 years without fail. The lights are neat, but I think I prefer this over the WD Black series. This is a solid HD for whatever your need is. Love the size because I can take it with if I need it.

Great Hard Drive

This has to be one of the best external hard drives for not only RGB set ups but also for the design on it. Very detailed and awesome for any Star Wars fan. The software is easy to set up and ready to use only thing I wish is that they sold this exact one with much more space I wouldn’t mind paying more if I was able to get 5TB with this design. Other than that best hard drive i’ve owned

A Reliable Gem: My Honest Take on the FireCuda 16TB

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024

Capacity: 16TBStyle: Gaming HubSet: FireCudaVerified Purchase

So, let's talk about the FireCuda 16TB. It's been my go-to for a while now, and I gotta say, it's been a game-changer. One thing that caught my eye right off the bat is the connectivity options. With a front USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB and USB-C, it's got everything I need to transfer data or hook up other devices. Yeah, I know, the main connector is USB 3.0, but honestly, it's not a big deal. I mean, who's really pushing spinning HDDs to their limit anyway? Not me.

And let's talk about durability. These spinning drives may not be as flashy as SSDs, but man, do they last. If you're in it for the long haul, this is your guy. Perfect for backups and long-term storage without breaking a sweat.

Now, I've seen some folks complain about the USB specs, but honestly, they're missing the point. This thing does exactly what it says on the tin, and I've never had any issues with it.

Style-wise, it's sleek as heck. Fits right in with my setup, and it's got that modern vibe going for it. Plus, the price? Don't even get me started. Yeah, it might've been steep a couple of years ago at $559.99, but guess what? In 2024, it's still holding its own. Trust me, this thing's worth every penny.

In a nutshell, the FireCuda 16TB is the real deal. Reliable, versatile, and stylish to boot. Whether you're using it for work or play, it's got you covered. So yeah, if you're in the market for a storage solution that's built to last, look no further. The FireCuda has got your back.

Absolutely Beautiful - Love it!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024

Capacity: 2TBStyle: Darth VaderSet: StarWars EditionVerified Purchase

I have a literal basket of Seagate "passport" drives, and I love them. Pocket size, fit great in case, decent enough performance, and I've never had one go bad.

This "Darth Vader" one is way better than I would have expected. Totally worth the extra $20 I paid.

The graphic is "3D" like it was painted on. There are designs on both sides. There's a cool LED effect too, which can be turned off if you're lame. ;)

I loved it so much, I went and bought some more with different themes. You got Star Wars, Marvel, etc. Totally great idea and I hope they keep making more!!

Storage is fine, lighting control app has a few compatibility issues

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023

Capacity: 8TBStyle: Gaming HubSet: FireCudaVerified Purchase

This drive works as intended in terms of storage and the USB ports.

The main issue I ran into is that the provided app for the lighting control does not work with all USB controllers (notably those using the Etron USB 3.0 controller chips). On my computer when I installed the app, it would see the drive but did not have any options for lighting control. I then tried it on my laptop and it worked, so I tried with the drive connected to another (non-USB 3) port on my PC and suddenly the lighting options appeared. Move the drive back to the USB 3 port and they disappear again. Came to the conclusion it had to be the ports, but all USB 3.0 ports had the same issue on my PC. Then I tried it on an old laptop at work that has the same Etron USB 3.0 controller as my home PC's motherboard, and sure enough the lighting options were missing.

It's unlikely you'd come across the issue on a modern PC as the USB controller chip in question is not found in recent PCs (the PC this is being used on is 10 years old), but be aware if you're using this with an older PC.

BEFORE YOU BUY FOR PS5- READ

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

Capacity: 5TBStyle: Blue LEDSet: GamingVerified Purchase

So I bought this thinking I would be able to boot up and play a huge number of ps5 games in one go. That is not the case and me not looking into things ahead of time can make one regret decisions.

So you can not play ps5 games off the drive itself and only store them. Ps4 games CAN be played off the drive so it really benefits the PS4 more than the ps5. Games that have been stored on the drive can be "copied" over back onto the ps5 at less download time than usual. I think what I was looking for was a SSD so look into that first before coming back to this.

Other than that, I'm glad I can at least use this on my PS4 to have everything ready from the get go whenever I want.

It's what I needed

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024

Capacity: 5TBStyle: Blue LEDSet: GamingVerified Purchase

Very large space to hold all my games in reserve (PS5) and games to play (PS4). The only caveat is that I needed to format for the Playstation even though it was said that it was already formatted, only a very minor detail and only took a minute. Love the look and the light bar on the bottom.
