It doesn’t matter if you’re a Jedi or a Sith; you still need a place to hold all of your data. So, why not use a lightsaber SSD to do so?

Building a PC means ultimate customization, and for Star Wars fans everywhere, this might just be the ultimate piece of hardware to showcase your dedication to the cause—no matter which side of the fight you’re on.

The Lightsaber Collection Special Edition FireCudea PCIE Gen4 NVMe SSD (link) is your typical average hardware, with one- and two-terabyte capacities and sequential read speeds of 7,300 MB/s. It also has a passive heatsink to reduce thermal throttling. 

However, instead of your typical RGB lights, you can choose between Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber to embed into your PC. And, if you can’t decide who the strongest of the three is, you will get all three faceplates to switch around depending on your loyalties.

The color of the weapon is also interchangeable, depending on whether you have a compatible motherboard with a 5V addressable header to help control the LED lights.

The special-edition drive also comes with a five-year limited warranty and three years of data recovery service because even the New Republic and the Empire were not immune to hackers and system crashes.

Seagate has also previously released other SSDs inspired by other characters, such as Han Solo, Boba Fett, Grogu, and even a slab of Mandolorian Beskar alloy.
