The recent buzz around Seagate is split between NAS-focused drive performance/compatibility issues (a Seagate Exos X16 12TB not being detected and not spinning in a Synology DS918+) and storage integration/DIY build discussions (using a Seagate Constellation SAS drive with Caddy). StorageReview is also spotlighting Seagate’s IronWolf Pro 32TB as a top multi-bay NAS capacity pick.

Why buy the Seagate Expansion Card for Xbox (and now PC)?

The Seagate Storage Expansion cards for Xbox come in 1TB, 2TB, and even 4TB sizes. This is a major boon in addressing the Xbox Series X|S's limited storage issues when installing newer AAA games that take up hundreds of gigabytes, like the 161GB-sized Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (and that's just the base game without DLC). But that's not all this SSD card has going for it. It has a compact design that seamlessly integrates with the Xbox console without standing out, to prevent it from accidentally being knocked off. Its Plug & Play design makes it easy to install without any wires, and it can al

What are the Seagate FireCuda X Vault’s features?

The FireCuda X Vault is an external 3.5-inch (yes, 3.5-inch!) hard drive with 10Gbps USB 3.2 Type-C connectivity. It’s a roughly rectangular black box with some mildly retro styling on the front as well as a configurable RGB lighting strip up the center of the top to spruce things up appearance-wise. Measuring approximately 7.75 inches long, by 5.25-inches wide, by 1.75-inches tall, the drive also weighs the better part of 3 pounds (2 pounds, 12.5 ounces). No, it’s not demure. Instead of rubber feet, there’s a large anti-skid pad covering a good 75 percent of the drive’s belly. That’s a good t

Seagate Firecuda X Vault review: The cheap answer to rising SSD prices
How much does the Seagate FireCuda X Vault cost?

The 8TB version of the X Vault costs the aforementioned $270, but there’s also a 20TB version available for $530. I should mention that while hard disk drives are far more reliable these days than in the past, if you’re storing anything on them exclusively, about the only moderately affordable way to keep it backed up is to use another HDD of equal size as a mirror. The good news is that two 8TB X Vaults are still less than half the cost of an 8TB SSD.

Seagate Firecuda X Vault review: The cheap answer to rising SSD prices
How fast is the Seagate FireCuda X Vault?

If you’re looking for SSD speed, well, look at SSDs. The 8TB FireCuda X Vault that I tested is about capacity, not blazing performance. It clocks in at 200- to 210MBps for sequential transfers, with very HDD-like seek times of 20 to 25 milliseconds. It’s on the low end for a modern 3.5-inch hard drive. By way of comparison, I’ve seen its 3.5-inch brethren approach 300MBps. On the other hand, 2.5-inch external hard drives lag significantly around the 125MBps range, so the X Vault is certainly a step up from those. SSD-like or not, the X Vault is still fast enough to stream 4K movies, any kind o
