Think you’re skilled in the ways of the Force? Versed in the Mandalorian Way? You’ll want to check out Seagate’s FireCuda Beskar Ingot External Hard Drive. This 2TB desktop drive is crafted to resemble an ingot of the virtually indestructible metal prized by Mandalorians and decorated with important elements from the clan’s symbology. The Beskar Ingot is a solid performer among external hard drives, though as you’d expect, its connection to the Disney+ Star Wars spin-off carries a price premium. And we’re a bit puzzled by the lack of USB-C connectivity of any kind.
A PRIME SLICE OF MANDALORIAN BLING
While the Seagate FireCuda Beskar Ingot PCIe 4 SSD has a similar Mandalorian-themed design, the Beskar Ingot External Hard Drive takes the concept further. For one thing, it’s larger, with more room for decoration; at 0.4 by 2.1 by 4.1 inches (HWD), it’s closer to the dimensions of the Beskar ingots depicted in the show, though neither the internal nor external drive attempts to imitate the ingots’ metallic sheen.
While the hard drive’s top bears the Imperial stamp seen in the show (plus another symbol unidentifiable to me), on the bottom are Mandalorian symbols. The first is the insignia of Clan Mudhorn, the two-person clan comprising the title character and Grogu (a.k.a. the Child, a.k.a. Baby Yoda), who combine to defeat a mudhorn, an ornery denizen of the planet Arvala-7, in an early episode. Second, as you’d expect if you’re even a casual fan of the show, is “This Is the Way” in Mandalorian runes, the oft-recited phrase related to the culture’s unity and code of honor.
