Your gaming PC's SSD could be a Lightsaber thanks to this early Black Friday offer

gamesradar.com:

Earlier in the year we were treated to a very special limited edition of the Seagate FireCuda 530 - one of the most popular Gen 4 SSDs on the market. Complete with their own heatsink and RGB lighting strip, these drives had clever faceplates that made them look like the lightsabers of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke/Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Vader.

Of course, these flew off the shelves immediately when they launched back in April, and haven't been seen frequently restocked throughout the year. At the moment, however, these special Star Wars drives have reappeared, and are even discounted in an early Black Friday deal to just $199.99 at Best Buy for the 2TB model. 

This is actually the drive I have in the gaming PC I built for myself earlier in the year, and besides its beautiful aesthetics, it performs brilliantly as an SSD. 

In truth, Black Friday SSD deals are a little underwhelming at the moment. Despite a continued price slump for most SSDs over the last year and a half, a lot of prices are actually going back up again, presumably in preparation for a serious fall next week. 

Normally, the thought of recommending a 2TB SSD priced at $200 would sicken me - even if it is one of the fastest Gen 4 options going. You simply don't ever need to pay that much for one of the best SSDs for gaming these days, and there are even Gen 5 drives with sickeningly fast speeds that are going for cheaper at the moment.

This Star Wars FireCuda however? Well, it's a different story, because it's more of a collector's item that technically falls into the wheelhouse of the best Star Wars merch.

Going forward, it's not clear if these will be in stock again, or how often they'll be resupplied, so maybe paying that type of price is more acceptable.
