Seagate rolled out a refreshed consumer and prosumer storage lineup spanning its Seagate, FireCuda and LaCie brands. The entry‑level offering is the One Touch desktop drive, offered in 8 TB, 20 TB and 24 TB capacities and powered solely via a USB‑C cable. It ships with Seagate Toolkit backup software and includes Rescue Data Recovery Services, making it a plug‑and‑play solution for Windows and Mac users.

Targeting gamers and streamers, Seagate introduced the FireCuda X Vault in 8 TB and 20 TB versions. Like the One Touch, it is bus‑powered over USB‑C but adds customizable RGB lighting that syncs with Windows Dynamic Lighting. The drive carries Xbox on PC certification, bundles an Xbox Game Pass trial, and is meant to complement fast internal NVMe SSDs.

At the top tier, LaCie’s 8big Pro5 delivers Thunderbolt 5 connectivity up to 120 Gbps and RAID 0 speeds near 2,800 MB/s. Configurations range from 32 TB to 256 TB, with up to 140 W power delivery for laptops and a five‑year warranty. Pricing starts at $5,979 for the 32 TB model, positioning the enclosure for professional video editors handling 4K/8K workflows. It also includes RAID Manager software for easy configuration.
