Unboxing the Limited Edition Seagate External SSD for Genshin Impact

Unboxing the Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition SSD: A Gamer’s Delight

In the past, branded gaming storage solutions often featured little more than a simple logo. For instance, my Outsiders-themed external drive for my PlayStation 5 was simply a silk-screened emblem on a Western Digital WD_Black P10 drive. Gamers frequently faced a dilemma: choose a themed hard drive that complemented their setup’s aesthetic or prioritize performance. Seagate has challenged this notion with its impressive array of Limited Edition HDDs and SSDs. Their latest release, a collaboration with miHoYo, showcases the popular Genshin Impact character Cyno and has arrived just in time for my road trip to GDC next week.

Overview of the Cyno SSD

Today, we’ll dive into the unboxing of this innovative 1TB external SSD inspired by one of Genshin Impact’s early Electro characters, Cyno. Compact and lightweight, measuring just under 100x50x11mm, this pocket-sized drive easily fits into an everyday carry. Whether capturing gameplay footage or transferring files from a capture station, this device is designed for convenience.

Design and Features

The vibrant purple hue representing Cyno makes this SSD eye-catching among the other devices in my office. However, it’s important to note that no gamer wants a hard drive that remains unopened. Within the packaging, customers will find essentials for quickly launching into action and storing their favorite content on the go. The exterior features runic designs, complemented by an Anubis motif on the underside, which subtly echoes the character’s theme. Unlike previous releases, this model includes an LED ring encircling the bottom, glowing in a stylish purple shade, with a modest status LED positioned near the USB Type-C 3.2 port.

Performance and Portability

Weighing in at only 65 grams, the Genshin Impact SSD is so lightweight that you’ll hardly notice it when tucked into a backpack. While I used to prefer thumb drives for transferring screenshots and video footage from my PlayStation 5 for reviews, this external SSD has revolutionized my approach. Seagate assures a reliable experience with this drive, offering a three-year warranty alongside three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services—an invaluable safeguard against potential data loss during transfers.

Exclusivity and Pricing

The Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition SSD is a truly unique offering, exclusively available through their online store at a price of $139.99. While this may be higher than other themed models, the distinctiveness of this drive makes it an appealing option for dedicated Genshin Impact fans looking to expand their collection of merchandise featuring Cyno.
