Gamescom 2015: Seagate And Microsoft Team Up To Deliver The 2TB Game Drive
As anyone who owns an Xbox One or PS4 can tell you, that 500 GB internal hard drive doesn’t take you very far. In this age of mandatory installs, 50 GB updates to fix titles that launch in a broken state, free games every month with each online service, or the plethora of DLC that fills the online marketplaces, it won’t be long until you’ll need some more space. While the PS4 is still behind on the external hard drive front, the Xbox One allows most 3.0 USB drives to plug into its USB ports.
Jumping on this growing need for gamers, Seagate and Microsoft announced at Gamescom that the two companies are teaming up to deliver an Xbox branded hard drive. Named the Seagate Game Drive, the green and black casing immediately identifies it as part of the Xbox brand, with a small, single cord storage device. At 2TB, Seagate is promising that you’ll never have to delete games again, holding a minimum of 50 games at a time.
Retailing at $109.99 and sold at nearly every major electronics outlet, Xbox owners shouldn’t have too much trouble finding it at their favorite shop. Xbox One owners, will you be plugging in this drive when your data starts running low? Keep an eye out for a full review in the coming days!
