Seagate Genshin Impact SSD Review: Worth the Mora for Travelers?

Jakarta: Seagate is tapping into the popularity of the hit action role-playing game *Genshin Impact* with its latest product, the Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition External SSD. The new drive aims to deliver both high-performance storage and a collectible aesthetic for fans of the game.

The external SSD isn’t just a storage device; it’s designed as a statement piece for *Genshin Impact* players, known within the game as “Travelers.” But with a premium price point compared to standard SSDs, the question remains: does the performance and design justify the cost?

First impressions matter, and the Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition External SSD doesn’t disappoint. Departing from the typical look of external drives, this edition features a striking yet elegant Electro purple color scheme.

The centerpiece of the design is the illustration of the character Cyno on the drive’s face. The artwork isn’t a cheap decal; it’s expertly printed with a subtle texture and surrounded by intricately engraved rune patterns, providing a premium tactile feel.  Symbols representing Cyno’s signature scales of justice and Anubis jackal are also etched onto the back, demonstrating attention to detail regarding the game’s lore.

The most prominent aesthetic feature is the RGB lighting. The Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition External SSD includes an LED strip on the underside that emits a default breathing purple glow.  Users can fully customize the lighting using Seagate Toolkit software or synchronize it with their PC ecosystem through Razer Chroma and Windows Dynamic Lighting features. 

The drive is remarkably compact, measuring 11mm x 50mm x 96mm and weighing just 65 grams – smaller than a deck of cards, making it easily portable in a pocket or small bag.

One potential drawback of the Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition External SSD is the lack of an included redemption code for in-game items like Primogems, exclusive furniture, or a namecard. Such bonuses are common in free-to-play games and would likely increase the appeal for dedicated *Genshin Impact* players.

<h2><strong>Performance</strong></h2>
Beneath its attractive exterior, the drive is fundamentally a USB 3.2 Gen 2 NVMe SSD. In synthetic tests like CrystalDiskMark, the drive achieved read speeds up to 1,048 MB/s and write speeds around 1,028 MB/s. This is significantly faster than external SATA SSDs (capped at 550 MB/s) and many times faster than traditional external HDDs.

In gaming scenarios, performance is solid. Transferring the installation of *Genshin Impact* to this drive drastically reduces loading times compared to an HDD. Teleporting between waypoints in Teyvat feels nearly instantaneous. However, it’s worth noting that this drive doesn’t utilize the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) standard found in some of Seagate’s FireCuda Gaming SSD models.

The drive is plug-and-play compatible, working seamlessly with PCs, Macs, and even Android and iPhone devices via USB-C for transferring gameplay recordings. For console users, the drive is compatible with both PS4 and PS5, although PS5 games cannot be played directly from any USB external drive.

<strong>Conclusion</strong>
The Seagate Genshin Impact Limited Edition External SSD is priced at Rp2.740.000 for the 1TB capacity. If you’re a dedicated Cyno player, a serious collector of merchandise, or building a *Genshin Impact*-themed PC setup, this drive is a compelling option.
