The Seagate Starfield themed 8TB external hard drive is back in stock at Best Buy for $150. The deal brings $90 off the price of the special edition desktop hard drive, which sold out twice earlier this month. If interested, we recommend purchasing as soon as possible. We don’t expect this offer to last during Best Buy’s Summer Sale, which is expected to end on Sunday, July 28. 2TB model for $80 at Amazon (regularly $110).
8TB $150 (originally $240) | 5TB $110 (originally $170)
Compared to a 5TB hard drive, the 8TB Starfield Game Drive Hub is quite thick. As a “hub,” the 8TB version comes with USB-A and USB-C ports, while the 5TB portable external hard drive only has a USB-A connection cable.
In addition to an eye-catching Starfield-inspired design, each drive comes with a one-year warranty and customizable RGB lighting effects.
As mentioned earlier this month, Amazon sold out of 5TB and 8TB hard drives, and unlike Best Buy, it did not replenish its inventory. However, you can still buy the 2TB portable model for $80.
The Seagate Starfield HDD is officially licensed and you can also use it as an external drive for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Use Play Them – Xbox One or PS4 games can be played directly from the drive – so this may not be the best solution for console games unless you’re playing on a last-gen console or have a slower internet speed. For some users, deleting and re-downloading games on the console may be faster than transferring games back and forth between the console’s SSD and an external drive.
Instead, you can use the 8TB hard drive to store your largest PC games and other data.
Gaming is bigger than ever these days, so before all the big games come out this holiday season, consider upgrading your storage with one of these cheap external HDDs. The 8TB model will be the most versatile thanks to the extra USB ports.
