Today, Star Wars fans have another way to feel the power of the Force with three new collectible Seagate Hard Disk Drives (HDD) inspired by heroes and villains of the Star Wars galaxy. Featuring Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Han Solo, the latest additions to the company's line of licensed special edition storage devices bring speed, capacity, and striking appearance to the battle stations of Star Wars collectors and tech enthusiasts.

The special edition FireCuda external hard drives represent the famed characters with three unique aesthetics: the courage of Luke Skywalker, the raw power of Darth Vader, and the confidence of the galaxy's favorite smuggler, Han Solo. The drives offer customizable RGB LED lighting and each design features a default custom character light out-of-the-box: a forceful blue for Luke Skywalker, a wrathful red for Darth Vader, and a white glow reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon for Han Solo. With built-in and customizable lighting options, all three of the drives enable Star Wars enthusiasts and gamers to awaken the powers of the Force at home.
 
With 2 TB of capacity, the FireCuda External Hard Drives (HDD) work with PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox so tech enthusiasts can gather and store a galaxy of media, files, and games, regardless of operating system. Designed with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection for universal compatibility and quick transfer speeds, and USB bus-powered, the lightweight drives are the perfect match for Star Wars fans looking for spectacular storage while on the go. 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.

The new collectible drives are available today for $109.99 (2 TB). For more information, visit this page.
 
Themed based hardware still appears to be popular.

    I like the themed hardware as long as the price increase it's not a ton of money extra. Not sure why they couldn't go beyond 2TB. If it was like 5TB  or 8TB then I would say it would be of a lot more value to put the money into something special. At 2TB I am kind of wondering if they shouldn't have done an SSD to make sure the data can handle being tossed around more. I personally would probably spend the money on an SSD for 2TB at this point.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    I'm surprised Lucasfilm and Disney would still go with Seagate considering their drives don't exactly have the greatest of longevity or stability. If I were to spend that kind of money on a themed piece of hardware I'd want it to be from a company that CAN be trusted.
