As popular as cloud storage is, it’s not great for certain applications such as gaming. Sure, cloud gaming is making massive strides in certain parts of the world but here in South Africa we still need to download our games before we can play them.
As you may be well aware, the size of games seems to be increasing every month and it’s not uncommon for new triple A titles to use over 100GB of storage at launch and then increase that storage footprint with updates.
This makes solutions like the Seagate Firecuda Gaming Dock perfect for the modern gamer whether you’re working with a desktop or a notebook.
The Firecuda Gaming Dock contains 4TB of HDD storage so you can easily store the games you aren’t actively playing but want to keep downloaded just in case. What makes this device particularly interesting however, is that you can expand this storage with an M.2 NVMe SSD such as the Firecuda 510.
This means you could not only use that Gaming Dock on your notebook but you could also move it between your office and your gaming computer to get a nice storage boost. Upgrading the storage with an M.2 NVMe drive will also improve loading speed and performance in general.
The Gaming Dock is so much more than an external drive. The Gaming Dock connects to your PC via a Thunderbolt 3 port so you shouldn’t notice any sort of serious lag. There is a second Thunderbolt 3 port for an accessory device such as an external GPU. You will also find four USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, a USB 3.1 Gen port with battery-charge support as well as a combo 3.5mm port and an audio out port. You can even connect the Gaming Dock to your network using the LAN port.
Adorned with RGB lighting, you can make sure that the Gaming Dock fits in with your setup thanks to Razer Chroma support.
The Seagate Firecuda Gaming Dock is the perfect storage solution for gamers but it’s range of features also make it perfectly suited for anybody working with large files that needs some additional ports. Think of it as a dongle that also includes 4TB of storage capacity.
The Seagate FireCuda Gaming Dock is available now through Wootware.
