You can also save big on the 5TB and 2TB editions of Seagate's special-edition Starfield Game Drive.

Seagate's Starfield-themed 8TB external hard drive is back in stock for $150 at Best Buy. This deal, which knocks $90 off the price of the special-edition desktop drive, sold out on two separate occasions earlier this month. If interested, we'd recommend snagging one soon. We wouldn't expect this offer to remain available through the duration of Best Buy's Great Summer Sale, which is slated to end this Sunday, July 28. Best Buy also has the 5TB portable version of Seagate's Starfield hard drive discounted to $110 (was $170), and the 2TB model is on sale for $80 (was $110) at Amazon.

The Seagate Starfield HDD is officially licensed, and you can also use it as an external drive for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Keep in mind you'll need to transfer PS5 or Xbox Series X games from this external drive to your console before you can play them--Xbox One or PS4 games can be played directly from the drive--so this probably isn't the best solution for console gaming unless you are gaming on last-gen consoles or have slow internet speeds. For some users, deleting and re-downloading games on console may be faster than transferring games back and forth between your console's SSD and the external drive.

Instead, you could use the 8TB drive to store your biggest PC games as well as other data.

Games are bigger than ever nowadays, so consider upgrading your storage abilities with one of these cheap external HDDs ahead of all the big game launches this holiday season. The 8TB model will be the most versatile thanks to the extra USB ports.
